MONTESOL — BARCELONA (1988) — Original Vintage Art Poster (Near Mint)
​Title / Description
​Original 1988 Vintage Barcelona Art Poster by Montesol – Published by Mama Graf & Printed by Tipografia Emporium – Near Mint Condition (49.5 x 69 cm)
​An exceptionally vibrant, original 1988 art poster capturing the expressive, avant-garde energy of Barcelona during the late 1980s—a legendary era of cultural rebirth leading up to the 1992 Olympic Games. Designed by the acclaimed Spanish painter and comic book artist Montesol (pseudonym of Javier Ballester, b. 1952).
​The composition features a bold, expressive, and slightly cubist interpretation of the iconic Catalan capital. It beautifully highlights the famous Christopher Columbus monument (Mirador de Colom) standing tall at the lower end of La Rambla, juxtaposed with the whimsical, organic architectural shapes inspired by Antoni Gaudí’s designs. The marine backdrop, complete with a classic ocean liner and a stylized sailor, celebrates Barcelona's deep-rooted Mediterranean heritage.
