    Yves Saint Laurent ‘LOVE’ Posters

    Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent, professionally known as Yves Saint-Laurent, was a French fashion designer who, in 1961, founded his own fashion label ‘YSL’. He is regarded as being amongst the most famous fashion designers of the twentieth century.

    During the early 1970’s, Yves Saint Laurent sent ‘LOVE’ cards to his closest friends and family in the form of drawings or collages.  More than seventy original creations around the word “Love”, were composed by the designer himself. These cards were then produced as posters which we are honoured to have as part of our collection.

  • FAVOR by Bellenger 1952

    ‘Favor’ was established in 1898 as a manufacturer of bicycles by founder Guillaume Etienne, in central France. Favor manufactured their first motorcycle, which was a 125cc two-stroke, in 1921.

    The company, which began to grow in popularity with both men and women, built midrange two-stroke and single cylinder four-stroke engines.

    During the late 1950’s, the European motorcycle industry suffered due to the popularity of small car sales, during this time, Favor ceased the manufacturing of motorcycles. However, Favor continued to produce motorised bicycles, which is what we can see depicted in the rare and sought after Favor poster by Bellenger from 1952.

    Bellenger was a famous French graphic artist, and his designs for Favor have become renown world-wide.

    Few American artists are as instantly recognisable as Andy Warhol; he is one of America’s most influential artists from the early 1960’s, up until his untimely death in 1987. In the 1960’s, New York exploded with a new movement, Pop Art. At the forefront, Warhol began to examine themes of celebrity, pop culture and advertising in his works.

    Consumer goods and advertising imagery were flooding the lives of a post-war America, and Warhol used brands such as Coca-Cola, Campbells soup cans, and Brillo soap to discuss themes of consumerism, American identity, and transform everyday objects into works of art.
