Anonymous - Cirque Arlette Gruss – Original Double-Sided Circus Poster - 1990s

Authentic original vintage sticker/poster for the famous Cirque Arlette Gruss, actually used for urban street advertising in the 1990s.
Small poster with strong visual impact, characterized by the iconic clown face with theatrical makeup and black crest, offered in a double-face version:
- a side with an intense electric blue background,
- a side with a darker, more atmospheric color variant.
The image possesses a strong retro-circus aesthetic, typical of French spectacular communication of the period, with saturated colors, strong graphic presence, and a poetic and melancholy atmosphere.
An especially interesting element is its authenticity of use: the sticker indeed shows real signs of affixing and urban use, including traces of adhesive tape, folds, and light wear that testify to its actual public exposure at the time.
These details give the piece charm, authenticity, and documentary value, making it far more interesting than a simple modern decorative reprint.
Particularly suitable for:
- circuses collecting,
- 1990s French memorabilia,
- vintage and theatrical interior design,
- creative studios and artistic spaces,
- collectors of original street posters.
