Auction History Result 4g0016 GROSSES FEST DER JURYFREIEN German 33x48 1935 Schwabinger brewery, Burkhardt horse art! Date Sold 5/14/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded German "A0" Festival Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 48" [84 x 122 cm]) (Learn More) Grosses Fest Der Juryfreien (literally translates to "Great Jury-Free Festival"), the 1935 German poster promoting a festival to take place at the Schwabinger Brewery in Munich, Germany, and featuring Burkhardt art of a masked horse conversing with a top-hatted smoking horse. 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 festival, 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 festival!). 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: Burkhardt 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 also that this German A0 poster measures 33" x 48" [84 x 122 cm]. 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 two pieces of tape on the back of the bottom border that bled through to the front. 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. But overall, the poster has survived in pretty nice condition, and its defects are primarily in the blank borders. Learn More about condition grades
