  • Linen backed

    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.

    The price of this poster includes linen backing.

  • Striking composition advertising MTA's transportation options to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Abstract, bold-colored shapes evoke elements of music, film, and performance—such as a stylized violin silhouette, a film strip, and theater lights. The minimalistic layout and playful forms reflect Ivan Chermayeff's iconic modernist collage style.
