Auction History Result 1w0014 ARCHE NOAH 33x47 German museum/art exhibition 1928 Willy Wolff expressionist art, very rare! Date Sold 3/17/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded German Art Exhibition Poster (measures 32 3/4" x 47" [83 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Arche Noah (literally translates to "Noah's Ark"), the 1928 German poster (with a tagline that translates to "Noah's Ark the Oriental Art Festival") promoting an art exhibition to take place on January 31st at the Deutschen Theater in Munich, Germany. Note that this poster features indigenous expressionist art by Willy Wolff. 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 specific kind of art 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 art!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Willy Wolff Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare German Art exhibition poster. Posters from this time period are extremely scarce, due to the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II. Many of these posters are for specific events that were held, and naturally, those posters would figure to be even more rare, since they could only have been used prior to the date of the event. We have auctioned this poster only once before in 2017 and it sold for $1,250, and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the ONLY example of this poster that we have ever auctioned! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has some tears in the left and bottom borders, and tiny paper loss in the lower left border. 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. Learn More about condition grades
