Product description
đ„ Pfeffer aus Cayenne â c. 1968 â Original A1 Poster by F+R Grindler | TĂŒbinger Zimmertheater, Germany
RenĂ© de Obaldia at the TĂŒbinger Zimmertheater in subversive lateâ1960s photoâgraphic design
| Silkscreen (Domberger Siebdruck) | 84.1 Ă 59.4 cm | Germany
đŹ Introduction
A haunting, upsideâdown head anchors this German theater poster; its grainy halftone skin and doubled, offâregister eyes create a deliberately uncanny afterimage. A restrained sansâserif title rides the upper margin, ceding the visual field to the portraitâs psychological tension. Designed by F+R Grindler for the TĂŒbinger Zimmertheater, the piece signals a program drawn from RenĂ© de Obaldiaâs witty, absurdist textsâimagery whose flipped logic neatly mirrors the dramaturgy. Printed as a velvety silkscreen by Domberger, it embodies a lateâ1960s synthesis: Swissâinflected typographic clarity paired with fearless, photoâled experimentation.
âš Why It Matters
This poster crystallizes a prized collaboration between an avantâgarde venue, an adventurous studio, and Stuttgartâs master printer Domberger. Grindlerâs minimal yet disquieting manipulation turns a simple portrait into conceptual theaterâan approach that helped define German stage graphics of the period. For collectors, Dombergerâs technical finesse, small seasonal runs, and named credits (venue, playwright, printer) create crossâinterest appeal spanning German design history, theater ephemera, and experimental photography. The A1 format underscores its intended streetâlevel impact, while the timeless image rewards close looking and frames with remarkable presence.
