About the Poster:
This museum-grade Magnum Photos Kunsthaus Zurich Poster was published in 1990 to commemorate five decades of dedicated documentary photography. Designed by legendary Swiss graphic designer Werner Jeker, the visual layout features Leonard Freed’s iconic 1963 photograph capturing children celebrating joyfully around a spraying fire hydrant in Harlem. The central image is overlaid with the bold white typography of the word "MAGNUM". The right-hand margin includes clean German corporate layout details, listing the co-organizers, institutional credits, and the official exhibition dates at Kunsthaus Zürich.
