MODERNIST POSTERS


wann has been instrumental in bringing posters to the forefront of the auction scene.

We held our first poster auction in 1978, and currently conduct five or more poster sales per year. Our winter poster auction contains a selection of ski posters, and our summer sale includes beach and summer resort images. We hold auctions of important Travel Posters in November, and Modernist Posters in May.

Specialized sales of Art Nouveau and American Posters, as well as extraordinary private collections have also been offered recently.

Please contact us for further information. We can help you build or shape your collection.
