Paintings, Richard L. Feigen & Co 1989

This vibrant original 1989 exhibition poster was created by the iconic American Pop artist James Rosenquist to promote his show “Paintings” at Richard L. Feigen & Co., London. Held from June 27 to July 28, the exhibition presented a dynamic selection of Rosenquist's large-scale, visually arresting works that bridged the gap between fine art and commercial imagery.

True to Rosenquist’s signature style, the poster is a dazzling collage of color, form, and abstraction. A lush explosion of oversized, hyperreal flowers dominates the composition—layered with sharp, slicing ribbons of light and translucent shapes that crisscross the image. In the upper center, a radiant white burst over a black background adds a dramatic contrast, amplifying the visual energy. The interplay between photorealism and abstraction draws viewers into Rosenquist’s multilayered commentary on mass culture, beauty, and perception.

Printed boldly at the bottom are the exhibition details, grounding the visual chaos with the clean precision of modern typography. Rosenquist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, cementing its authenticity and collectible value.

This poster is more than an exhibition announcement—it is a work of art in its own right, encapsulating Rosenquist’s brilliance at manipulating imagery to challenge and seduce the viewer. A stunning artifact of late 20th-century Pop Art and a vivid reflection of Rosenquist’s enduring legacy.
