Exhibition of Czech posters from the The Lowry Family Collection, New York dating from ca. 1890 - 1938. The exhibition is from March 24th till June 16th 2013.

"The Lowry Family collection of Czech posters, numbering over a thousand, is the largest in the word outside of the museums of the Czech Republic. It has been assembled over the past 25 years as a mutual passion and a delightful pursuit shared between father and son.

We are a family with Czech heritage who also happen to be in the antiquarian book and auction business. As such, our shared passion for posters provided us with a common interest on a personal, professional and emotional level. The collection for us is more than just a labor of love. In many ways it is an extension of our everyday lives and a large part of our cultural and professional identity.
Most importantly it has served as a unique and irreplaceable bonding experience.

The highlights we have selected for this exhibition are what we consider to be amongst the best posters of their respective times. Consulting the scant few books and exhibition catalogues about Czech posters we also endeavored to present images which have not been reproduced anywhere else."
