AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- Title : Men of Modern Mathematics Poster
- Material: Original printed format, with some marks of time.
- Year of Design / Year of Production: Originally produced in 1966.
- Availability: A limited quantity is now available from the Eames Office archives.
- Description : This lot consists of a single poster, which is a limited quantity of the original 1966 production. The poster is in very good condition despite some marks of time. Its original printed format measures 48″ x 73.5″ (121.92 cm x 186.69 cm). Due to its large size, it was printed as a single sheet with two halves of the timeline doubled up. The printing process required the sheet to be run through the press over 20 times to achieve the level of detail. To display the full timeline, the poster needs to be cut along a scored horizontal line, creating two 24″ x 73.5″ (60.96 cm x 186.69 cm) pieces. These two pieces are then placed end-to-end to form the complete 24″ x 147″ (60.96 cm x 373.38 cm) horizontal timeline.
- Context : The poster was adapted from a history wall featured in the Eames exhibition, "Mathematica: A World of Numbers . . . and Beyond." It was originally produced in 1966 and distributed by IBM to schools. The poster is highlighted as an excellent example of the Eames Office's distinctive graphic style.
The lot has already been shipped from Los Angeles to storage in Amsterdam. Therefore, customs clearance and shipping timelines will follow our standard process, with no additional delays expected
Seller's Story
The Eames Office:
Founded in the 1940s in Venice, California, the Eames Office is the creative home and design studio of Charles and Ray Eames. It’s where they pioneered molded plywood and fiberglass sculptures, creating enduring icons like the Lounge Chair, DCM, and Eames Chaise — designs that remain warm, functional, and built to last.
Now led by the next generations of the Eames family, it is the custodian of all Eames designs and the founding patron of the Charles & Ray Eames Foundation. It preserves a multidisciplinary legacy spanning furniture, film, architecture, toys, textiles, and more.
