Posters available for purchase
We will have the two commemorative posters (below) on sale for all attendees.
Licht und Bewegung (Light and Movement) -1965 (left)
This poster announces an exhibition of international photographers experimenting with light and movement at the Kunsthalle Museum in Bern, Switzerland. It won many awards, including being selected by the Swiss Ministry of Culture as one of the best posters that year. Those who may not know Peter Megert, will certainly be familiar with this poster.
