It would be a shame to miss the Swann Gallery “Graphic Design and Poster” Auction on May 23. Viewings for the show are from May 20 to May 22. Find the online catalog here. This annual extravaganza has a wealth of some classics and a fine selection of lesser known, even rare, items. The catalog is a history lesson in itself. Highly recommended.
