IDEA Extra Issue – The World’s 10 Poster Artists Exhibition, 1982

Information

A catalogue of the “World’s 10 Poster Artists Exhibition” held at Nihonbashi Takashimaya in 1982. It features 30 works by five of Japan’s leading designers, including Nagai Kazumasa, Tanaka Ikko, and Yokoo Tadanori, and Holger Matthies, and Milton Glaser, for a total of 300 pieces. Under the theme of “Protect the Green, People, and Earth,” 10 designers with unique personalities and talents competed, and the collection of works is overwhelming, proving that even a universal theme cannot be expressed universally because the qualities, styles, and techniques are completely different.
