Created in 1969 for an exhibition at Galerie Alexandre Iolas, this original poster presents the work of Martial Raysse during one of the most experimental periods of his career. The cities listed beneath the gallery’s name—New York, Geneva, Milan and Paris—reflect the international reach of Alexandre Iolas’s influential network. A dramatically cropped female profile dominates the composition. The face is reduced to broad areas of black against an intense green field, while narrow yellow lines illuminate the forehead, nose, lips and chin. This radical simplification transforms the portrait into an almost abstract arrangement of shapes while preserving its sensual, cinematic character. The artist’s name appears in freely drawn lettering across black bands above and below the image. Individual letters picked out in green and yellow connect the typography with the portrait, while the restricted palette creates exceptional contrast and visual energy. Printed in screenprint and offset by Tosi e Bellasich, the poster demonstrates Raysse’s fascination with artificial color and mechanically reproduced imagery. Martial Raysse, born in France in 1936, was one of the founding figures of Nouveau Réalisme and became closely associated with European Pop Art. During the 1960s, he drew upon advertising, photography, cinema and consumer culture, frequently transforming idealized female faces through fluorescent colors, cropping and graphic repetition. By the end of the decade, his images became increasingly simplified, often approaching the form of silhouettes or signs. Alexandre Iolas was an important international dealer and advocate of avant-garde art, exhibiting figures including René Magritte, Andy Warhol, Jean Tinguely and Martial Raysse. With its striking Pop palette, important gallery provenance and bold female portrait, this original 1969 poster is particularly desirable for collectors of Nouveau Réalisme, European Pop Art and postwar exhibition graphics.
