Description from the seller

Original poster by Reyn Dirksen from 1952, made for the Amato exhibition in Amsterdam.

Beautiful 1950s style. In the poster you can see the Centrale Markthal; this enormous monumental building still exists and is being brought back to life by the non-profit organization BOEi.

In September 1952, the Central Market Hall in Amsterdam was the venue for AMATO (Amsterdam Market Exhibition), the largest exhibition of vegetables, fruit and flowers ever held in Western Europe.

Reyn Dirksen, a celebrated graphic designer, was approached to design the poster.

The poster is in good condition for its age, except for a tear along the bottom edge where there are also some old tape residues visible. The colors are still bright. It is the large-format poster, 80 x 110 cm.
