An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded German "A0" Festival Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47" [84 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Tehaner Ball (literally translates to "Student Ball"), the 1934 German poster promoting a ball which took place at the Regina Palast Hotel in Munich, Germany on January 31st, and featuring wild art by K. Leiss. It is interesting to note that when Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany, he banned all expressionist and "modern" art as "decadent", but oddly, he allowed this sort of ball, and the posters created for them, to continue (perhaps it was related to it taking place in Munich, and perhaps he had fond years of living in Munich as a young man, including when he was in prison near the city, when he wrote "Mein Kampf", and perhaps he did not have a philosophical difference with this kind of ball!). If anyone knows more about this event, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: K. Leiss Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that same poster has been reconsigned for this auction! Note that this poster must be sent in a tube that is over 32" long (which is why it is in this set of auctions). You can tell how long the tube will need to be by adding 2 inches to the shorter dimension of the length or width (so 40x60s need to be sent in a 42 inch long tube, etc). Most of these posters (with the notable exception of paper banners) CAN be combined in the same tube together, with a few exceptions. Bear in mind that a very long tube (42 inches or longer) will cost a lot more to send than a 30" tube, so bear that in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a vertical crease in the bottom 15" of the poster, mostly in the black background area, and slightly entering the letters at the bottom, and some other light creases scattered in the poster, with a few scuffs in the solid black areas. It had a piece of tape on the back of the bottom border, and two pieces in the upper left border which bled through to the front, and one of the pieces of tape in the left border is missing, so the tear in that area is separated again. Someone put some tape on the back of the entire right border where there had been a few small tears, and that tape has bled through to the front, but only in the blank border.
