Thoughts on Democracy

Thoughts on Democracy: Freedom to Vote 2016
at The Wolfsonian-FIU
"Miami Beach, FL – August 25, 2016 – The Wolfsonian invited members and VIPs to get political at a VIP sneak peek summer viewing party for Thoughts on Democracy: Freedom to Vote 2016, featuring a first glance at nighttime projections on The Wolfsonian’s building from the chic vantage point of Washington Park Hotel’s rooftop terrace. The evening kicked off at the museum with new poster commissions by contemporary designers Mirko Ilić, Oliver Munday, Paul Sahre, and Bonnie Siegler: our four graphic artists who each tackled the realities and challenges of the American voting process, from voter ID laws to the daunting lines that keep us from casting our ballots."

UN Post Stamps

To celebrate the 65th anniversary, United Nations decided to publish commemorative post stamps.
Post stamp sheet is designed by Sergio Baradat and also contains the artwork of Jean Carlu.

Jean Carlu (1900-1997) was one of the biggest French poster designers. The artwork by Jean Carlu that United Nations used for the stamp sheet is part of my collection. I was extremely lucky not only to acquire the original artwork, but to acquire the original sketch for the art.
