Vintage Posters

This weekend I'm working at Julia Santen Gallery. She specializes in the highest quality vintage posters ranging from Art Nouveau to Contemporary. I never really saw myself as a fan of this genre of art... but continued exposure has awoken a desire for larger than life colorful prints of parrots toting bottles of alcohol and Warholian gays with bright red, curling tongues.
