Description from the seller

HR Giger, "Atomic Children" is an iconic work by the Swiss artist.
You said the following: hr giger atomic children“Atomkinder” (Atomic Children) is one of the most significant early series by the Swiss artist H.R. Giger, created between 1960 and 1967 and culminating in a large-format main work in 1968. The series marks the transition of the young interior designer and draftsman to the world-renowned creator of the “Biomechanical” style and the legendary Alien design. Origin as satirical underground comics Before Giger mastered airbrush technique, during his training as a draftsman, he began to doodle quirky figures on the margins of construction plans. These drawings developed into a series of absurd, pitch-black and satirical cartoons. They were published in various Swiss and German alternative underground magazines and brought Giger to the attention of a broader public for the first time. A comprehensive collection of these early works is documented in the book H.R. Giger: Atomkinder (Rotland Press). The main work is from 1968, according to Google AI.

Full print sheet in 70x100 cm format. This was printed for the HR Giger Museum.
On the print sheet you can still see the crop marks, color-control fields, and sheet designation.
