Whitechapel Posters

The Graphic Century 
Hannah Vaughn (ed.)
Whitechapel Gallery
London, 2009.

I've been to a lot of shows at the Whitechapel over the years, many good, a few indifferent, none that I remember being poor. Perhaps any bad ones are best forgotten. 

This book collects posters promoting their exhibitions, graphic designs trying to capture the artistic aesthetic or spirit of each show.
Here is a selection mostly from my favourite period from the early 1950s to the late 70s.
