What Defines Mid-Late Century Fine Art Prints?
The mid-late 20th century was a dynamic period in the art world, roughly spanning the 1940s to the 1980s. It gave birth to movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art. Artists of this time experimented with new techniques, media, and forms of expression.

Fine art prints from this era typically include:

Lithographs

Screenprints (serigraphs)

Etchings

Woodcuts

Offset posters

Unlike mass-produced wall art, these prints were often created or supervised by the artist, limited in number, and hand-signed or numbered. This blend of accessibility and exclusivity is what makes them so appealing today.

 
Why Mid-Century Posters Still Matter

Art posters from the mid-century were not just decorative pieces—they were tools of communication and expression. They promoted gallery shows, music events, political movements, and cultural exhibitions. With time, many of these ephemeral designs gained artistic value.

At Kerrisdale Galleries, we house several original posters that have transcended their promotional purpose to become collectible artworks. Their vibrant colors, avant-garde designs, and rich history make them perfect focal points in any modern interior.
