Original first edition exhibition poster created for David Salle's solo show at Leo Castelli Gallery on Broadway, held from April 5th to May 3rd, 1986. Executed in Salle's signature style, the composition features his hallmark use of divided imagery-juxtaposing contrasting scenes and tonal fields to heighten visual and psychological tension. One image is illuminated, revealing intricate figurative detail, while the adjoining panel remains subdued, allowing light itself to become part of the narrative.
A quintessential example of Salle's postmodern vocabulary, blending figurative and abstract elements to explore themes of perception, fragmentation, and emotional ambiguity. This poster stands as an authentic artifact of the pre-digital poster era, when design, printing, and composition were deeply tied to the hand and eye of the artist.
Framing available upon request.
