Descrizione del prodotto
💠 Tübinger Zimmertheater – Musical von Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley – c. 1970 – Original A1 Poster by Frieder Grindler
Op‑Art theater graphic from the Zimmertheater Tübingen series (1968–71)
| Offset lithograph | 84 × 59 cm | West Germany
🎬 Introduction
Frieder Grindler reduces a stage musical to pure optical drama: a cool blue halftone silhouette emerges from a dense green field of red‑tipped dots, creating a vibrating, moiré‑like shimmer that toggles between abstraction and figure. A slim cobalt band along the top carries the production and cast in compact sans serif, anchoring the image’s theatrical context while leaving the field open for a rigorous visual experiment.
Commissioned by the Zimmertheater Tübingen, the poster announced a local staging of a musical by the British duo Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley—names that bridged popular entertainment and art theater in the 1960s. Grindler channels that cosmopolitan energy into the German plakats tradition with an unmistakable Op‑Art/halftone vocabulary.
✨ Why It Matters
- Key work from Grindler’s influential late‑1960s Zimmertheater program, where photography, optical patterning, and pared typography supplanted illustration.
- The dot‑matrix figure nods to Op Art and Pop printing (Ben‑Day/halftone), appealing to cross‑collectors of European theater, psychedelic/Op, and Swiss‑inflected modernism.
- Regional theater posters were printed in small numbers for short runs; survival is limited, making series examples especially sought after.
- The top line explicitly names production and cast—unusual for such a graphic sheet—enhancing provenance and research value.
