About This Piece
An original 1990 Jean Guilmoto exhibition poster, produced for his exhibition at the Galerie de Sèvres in Paris, held from 21 March to 14 April 1990.
This is a genuine period French gallery poster, rather than a modern reproduction. Its printed artist name, gallery address and exhibition dates connect it to a specific event in the Paris art world.
The central image reproduces one of Guilmoto’s expressive abstract and figurative paintings. Bold French typography and a predominantly black background give the poster a striking graphic presence.
Presented behind glass in a black frame with a narrow gilt inner detail, it is a decorative piece of vintage French wall art, already framed and ready to hang.
Details & Condition
The poster is in good vintage condition and displays beautifully in its existing frame.
The black and gilt frame shows rubbing, small knocks and areas of finish loss, consistent with its age and previous use. The slightly timeworn finish complements the artwork particularly well; personally, I would keep the framing as it is.
Measurements are approximate; please allow for a small variation.
Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the condition of this individual piece.
Dating from 1990, this is a vintage exhibition poster. Signs of age and previous life are part of its character.
Polly’s Styling Notes
This is exactly the sort of French gallery poster I love finding: a named artist, a Paris gallery, precise exhibition dates and wonderful typography.
The dark palette would work beautifully above a console table, in a study or sitting room, or as part of a collected gallery wall alongside original paintings, drawings and antique frames.
It has that unmistakable Paris gallery feel and sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The narrow gilt detail adds just enough warmth to the black frame.
