Plakate Fabigan, Circa 1955, by Hans Fabigan
This striking typographic poster features bold, overlapping letters in red, purple, black, and green, forming an abstract yet structured composition. The text Plakate Fabigan dominates the design, with each letter interwoven in a modernist, geometric arrangement. The poster exemplifies a clean, graphic approach, with sharp contrasts and precise colour blocking.
Created around 1955, this piece serves as a self-promotional work for Hans Fabigan, showcasing his skills in typography and composition. The use of the German word Plakate (meaning "posters") suggests that this poster was part of an exhibition or a portfolio presentation of his work. The mid-20th century was a pivotal time for graphic design, with the rise of Swiss and Bauhaus influences emphasising clarity, structure, and bold visual impact.
Hans Fabigan was an Austrian graphic designer known for his work in advertising and typography. Active during the mid-20th century, his approach combined precision with expressive colour and form. Unfortunately, biographical information about Hans Fabigan is scarce and he remains a relatively obscure figure in design history.

Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
