Willi's wine bar - Paris 1988

Offered here is an original 1988 poster by Voisin, created for the legendary Willi’s Wine Bar in Paris—a beloved institution that has blended fine wine and contemporary art since its founding in 1980. This striking piece is part of the bar’s now-iconic poster series, which has featured a rotating cast of renowned and emerging artists, each interpreting the spirit of Willi’s through their own creative lens.

Voisin’s 1988 design is instantly captivating: a bold, expressionist composition that fuses tribal-inspired forms with modernist energy. The central image—transforming a wine bottle and glass into stylized, mask-like figures—draws the eye with its vibrant palette, angular lines, and rhythmic brushwork. Set against a backdrop of swirling colors and dynamic text, the poster feels both playful and sophisticated, a visual echo of the bar’s eclectic and international clientele.

Printed in a limited run and never reissued, this poster is not just wall art—it’s a piece of Parisian cultural history. Willi’s Wine Bar is known not only for its exceptional wine list and convivial atmosphere, but also for commissioning annual posters that have become sought-after by collectors of wine ephemera, contemporary art, and graphic design.
