This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

The Avant Garde Festival of New York is a project of New Ground Presentations, Inc. / Poster Design: Jim McWilliams and the Linweave Graphic & Paper Workshop / Paper: Linweave Linen, Bright White, Text Basis 70 / Printing: Tandem Press, New York City
Bold and dynamic poster with overlapping text in various sizes and angles, overlaid with festive imagery such as streamers, splashes of paint, and illustrations of ships. The chaotic yet artistic layout reflects the avant-garde spirit—nonconformist, creative, and boundary-pushing.
Please note original fold lines and slight creasing along the left edge. Linen backing would help to address these issues.
We also have other Avant Garde Festival of New York posters available.
