The Story
- The Car: An Appraisal by Britain's Leading Car Photographers.
- This original archive poster advertises a 1985 exhibition at the Boilerhouse: the first iteration of the Design Museum funded by the Conran Foundation.
- The exhibition was a critique of the car by the eminent German graphic designer Otl Aicher.
- The show was advertised as ‘the problems of defending the automobile against its worshippers’ and took a provocative position. Aicher’s argument was that designers were too fixated on the styling and appearance of cars when they should be focussing on efficiency instead.
- Designed by Michael Burke with photography by Martyn Goddard.
- Please note that these are original archive prints rather than reproductions, so may exhibit small markings.
- Very limited copies of this poster remain.
- Comes with an accompanying certificate of authenticity.
