To celebrate the AGI anniversary, the Bibliotheque Nationale de France organized an exhibition of posters
and graphic design at its new location where most of the AGI meetings took place. Anne-Marie Sauvage,
curator of the BNF poster collection and Jean Widmer, Alex Jordan and Philippe Apeloig invited 200 international
designers to send in their works from 1997 -2001.

The catalogue
Links
Many of the posters in the exhibition can be found somewhere on Rene Wanner's Poster Page.
Here are some new posters that I like:
Muriel Paris and Alex Singer (FR)
Poster for a contemporary art exhibition
on creative women
Fantasma de Heredia (AR)
Poster for the 100th anniversary
of Bertold Brecht's birthday
Tadanori Yokoo (JP)
Poster for a japanese men's magazine
The catalogue of the exhibition was published in nr. 76 of the excellent french graphic design magazine
Etapes Graphiques.
To use the infrastructure and the knowhow of a periodical for a catalogue is a great idea which I hope is taken up
elsewhere also.
Everybody profits - the exhibition organizer,
the graphic designer, the magazine, and last but not least the reader: How else could you get a catalogue published with
hundreds of first class color reproductions for just 10.7 Euro, less than 10 US$ ?
