Following on from Keith Haring’s hugely successful first exhibition held in 1982 in New York, art director Pierre Keller met Haring a few months later and asked him to produce a festival poster featuring a dancing figure.

Haring came up with three designs, all of which were accepted. The posters originally sold poorly, since Haring had not yet made a name for himself on the other side of the Atlantic. Keller took the remaining stock home, and in the summer of 1983 Keller and Nobs had the brainwave of inviting the New York artist to Montreux.

The visual identity of the festival was revolutionised and turned into an iconic piece of art. Since then, the posters have been designed by other famous artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Andy Warhol, Shigeo Fukuda, Julian Opie, David Bowie and Romero Britto among others.

All our wooden frames are expertly hand-made from locally sourced FSC® certified timber.

Colour

Our quality, tulip wood frames come with a solid, hand-sprayed finish in either Black or White, or Natural Oak with a wax finish.

Mount Style

Select either Full Bleed (flush to the edge), Floating, or Window Mount (using 100% pure cotton, archival, acid-free mount board).

Glazing

Select from either Perspex® Clear Cast (a lightweight, shatter-resistant, economical option), conservation grade Artshield UV or a superior Optium Museum Acrylic® - both are ultra clear, scratch-resistant, and provide protection by filtering out harmful UV light that can damage and fade works over time. Optium Museum Acrylic® is also anti-reflective.
