Original screenprint exhibition poster for Paolozzi’s work. Exhibited at the King’s Lynn Festival, Fermoy Gallery, Peace to Pop exhibition 2024.

Produced for Paolozzi’s 1974 exhibition at the Kestner‑Gesellschaft in Hannover, this screenprint poster captures the artist at a pivotal moment in his career, when his bold graphic language distilled the collision of technology, popular imagery, and modern mythology that made him a central figure in post‑war European art.

A founding member of the British Independent Group and a pioneer of pop sensibility in Britain, Paolozzi drew early recognition for collages such as I Was a Rich Man’s Plaything (1947) that directly anticipated Pop Art by juxtaposing found images and mass‑media fragments.

In this poster’s predominantly black field, densely layered forms—suggestive of machine parts, fragmented figurative elements, and coded symbols—convey both mechanical precision and psychological intensity.
