Est: $1,500 - $2,000
LUCIAN BERNHARD (1883-1972) & FRITZ ROSEN (1890-1980) INTERNATIONALE AUTOMOBIL - AUSSTELLUNG. 1931. 28x37¼ inches, 71x94½ cm. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin. Condition A-: minor repaired tears at edges; minor creases in image; slight discoloration at top edge; ink notation in bottom right corner. In 1911, Bernhard designed a poster to advertise the Berlin Automobile Show, featuring a driver, clad in white, with goggles on his hat, gripping a large steering wheel with his gloved hands. The poster was such a classic design that it was reused and reworked for several subsequent automobile shows in the German capital, each featuring different text within the black text-box. For the 1931 exhibition, Bernhard worked with Rosen to update the image. Gone are some of the control levers from the steering wheel, as well as the driving hat and goggles, revealing the driver's full head and blonde hair. It has been noted that the "Aryanization" of the figure was representative of the changing times in Germany. Bernhard moved from Berlin to New York City in 1922, but kept his Berlin studio open. He credits the success of that operation to "my old friend, my tried and trusty colleague Fritz Rosen. I am so busily occupied with my American commissions that it is only now and then that I am able to send a sketch to Berlin . . . Rosen has been so closely identified with the development of my style . . . that is why my familiar old signature is now frequently ornamented with 'Rosen'" ( Gebrauchsgraphik, February 21, 1926 p. 21). Bernhard p. 70-1, 2nd Salon Automobile 24 (var).

Lucian Bernhard, Manoli
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
Lucian Bernhard Manoli 1910 27⅝ h × 37¼ w in (70 × 95 cm) During the 1910s and '20s, Bernhard executed at least a dozen designs for Manoli, a Berlin-based cigarette factory founded in 1894 by Jakob Mandelbaum. This is a quintessential example of Bernhard's characteristic Sachplakat aesthetic, in which the image is diluted down to its most vital components: the brand name and the product sitting against a deep black background. But rather than coming off as stark, the image is coyly enticing: a chic flip-top deck presents its pleasures while a single cigarette teeters off the edge, beckoning the nicotine lover to indulge.

Est: $2,500 - $3,000
ARTIST: LUCIAN BERNHARD (1883-1972) SIZE: 22 x 31 1/4 in./55.8 x 79.5 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: In this variant of the well-known Bosch ignition systems poster featuring a Mephistian caricature of Belgian race car driver Camille Jenatzy, the ignition is switched for an airplane magneto engine, while the devilish image remains the same with no regard being paid to the slight difference between cars and airplanes. The technology represented is from the World War I era; interestingly, most of the piston engine aircraft operating today still use dual magnetos, even though a single one will operate the engine at approximately 85% efficiency. This is the French language version. (Art Nouveau; Technology; German)

Original 1950's Lucian Bernhard Poster for Amoco - Make It Amoco all The Way
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
This poster image is in the classic typographical style of Lucian Bernhard and was a part of a large collection of pieces that he created for Amoco. Amoco Corporation, originally Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is a global chemical and oil company that was founded in 1889 around a refinery located in Whiting, Indiana, United States.It later absorbed the American Oil Company, founded in Baltimore in 1910 and incorporated in 1922 by Louis Blaustein and his son Jacob. Amoco merged with British Petroleum in December 1998, forming BP Amoco. Shortly after the merger, Amoco stations began a rebranding that saw the stations change their names to the BP marque while continuing to sell Amoco-branded fuel. Eventually all traces of the Amoco brand name were eliminated and the stations adopted the BP branding permanently, although Amoco's grade naming system is still in use. The firm's innovations included two essential parts of the modern industry, the gasoline tanker truck and the drive-through filling station. Its headquarters were located in the Amoco Building (now the Aon Center) in Chicago, Illinois. Lucian Bernhard (March 15, 1883 - May 29, 1972) was a German graphic designer, type designer, professor, interior designer, and artist during the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in Stuttgart, Germany, on March 15, 1883, as Emil Kahn to a Jewish family, but changed his name to his more commonly known pseudonym in 1905. His first name is often spelled Lucien. He was influential in helping create the design style known as Plakatstil (Poster Style), which used reductive imagery and flat-color as well as Sachplakat ('object poster') which restricted the image to simply the object being advertised and the brand name. He was also known for his designs for Stiller shoes, Manoli cigarettes, and Priester matches. Though he studied briefly at the Akademie in Munich, he was largely self-taught. He moved to Berlin in 1901 where he worked as a poster designer and art director for magazines. In 1920, he became a professor at the Akademie der KÃ¼nste until 1923, when he emigrated to New York City. In 1928, he opened the Contempora Studio with Rockwell Kent, Paul Poiret, Bruno Paul, and Erich Mendelsohn where he worked as a graphic artist and interior designer. Bernhard did extensive typographic work for the American Type Founders Company as well as other advertisers. For Amoco, he redesigned their logo in addition to designing a wonderful group of posters.

Lucian Bernhard. Plakat »Manoli Kardash Cigaretten«.
Est: €4,000 - €5,000
Farblithographie. 1912. 35 : 46,5 cm. Im Stein signiert »Bernhard«. Bekanntes Plakat aus der Manoli-Reihe Lucian Bernhards (1883–1972). – Mit dem Signet der Berliner Plakatdruckerei Hollerbaum & Schmidt. – Das querformatige Kleinplakat zeigt eine farblich verfremdete orientalische Szenerie, die vom Expressionismus beeinflusst scheint: Vor flaschengrünem Hintergrund ist in Rosatönen eine Moschee mit Minarett und Halbmond, Symbol des Islam, dargestellt. Ein achteckiges schwarzes Schild mit grauen Buchstaben verdeckt einen großen Teil der Darstellung des Gebäudes. Die Schrift kombiniert den Manoli-Schriftzug in Versalien einer Grotesktype mit einer Serifenschrift. Der Name »Kardash« verweist auf ein Dorf in Aserbaidschan, einem traditionellen Tabakanbauland. – Das Plakat ist ein Beispiel für die beliebte Tabakwerbung mit Orientmotiven, die auf die exotisch anmutende Herkunft des Tabaks anspielte. Diese gewollte Assoziation reichte bis zur Architektur einiger Tabakfirmen, zum Beispiel das Firmengebäude der Dresdner Zigarettenfabrik Yenidze. – Der deutsche Graphiker und Designer der Neuen Sachlichkeit Lucian (oft: Lucien) Bernhard, eigentlich Emil Kahn (1883–1972), war auch Typograph und Architekt und wurde 1923 in Berlin der erste Professor für Plakatkunst. Ab 1901 entwarf er für Hollerbaum & Schmidt Plakate. Kaffee Hag, Pelikan und die Bosch-Zündkerze sind noch heute stilistisch von seinen Entwürfen beeinflusst. Ab 1925 arbeitete er zunehmend in den USA. – Makellos erhalten. – Freigestellt passepartouriert in Museumsrahmung. Das frühe Plakat in Europa und den USA III/2, S. 222 (Abb. mit Verweis auf die hier vorliegende kleinere Ausführung). – 100 Jahre Deutscher Werkbund, 2007, S. 103 (Variante) [Keywords: ; Typography, Letterheads, Bauhaus ]

ARTIST: LUCIAN BERNHARD (1883-1972) SIZE: 23 1/2 x 17 1/2 in./59.5 x 44.5 cm PRINTER: Druckerei Schenkalowsky, Breslau DESCRIPTION: Better known for his more Modern object posters, this early Bernhard design appears quite wordy and plain; however, the simplicity that would come to define his career is ever-present. Utilizing the Das Plakat emblem of a woman gazing through her lorgnette, the poster promotes an evening event hosted by the Breslau Friends of the Poster to celebrate 20 years of German poster design. With a promised 240 works on view, not to mention a lecture given by the illustrious Dr. Hans Sachs alongside 150 color slides, it was surely a poster enthusiast’s dream seminar.

Für die Wilhelm-Busch-Ausstellung schuf Lucian Bernhard das Plakat, indem er die Zeichnung der "Frommen Helene" als großes ovales Medaillon wählte. Neben Max und Moritz war die Ballade über Die fromme Helene Wilhelm Buschs (1832-1908) populärste Bildergeschichte, in der er den pseudoreligiösen Moralismus und die Bigotterie des Bürgertums kritisiert. Helene wird daher zu einer Ikone ihrer Zeit, die von Bernhard geistreich gewählt und auch als solche dargestellt wird. – Mit Japan hinterlegt, stärker gebräunt, leicht fleckig und angeschmutzt, Randeinrisse und winzige Fehlstellen, sonst sehr schön.

Original 1950's Lucian Bernhard Poster for Amoco - Make It Amoco all The Way
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
This poster image is in the classic typographical style of Lucian Bernhard and was a part of a large collection of pieces that he created for Amoco. Amoco Corporation, originally Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is a global chemical and oil company that was founded in 1889 around a refinery located in Whiting, Indiana, United States.It later absorbed the American Oil Company, founded in Baltimore in 1910 and incorporated in 1922 by Louis Blaustein and his son Jacob. Amoco merged with British Petroleum in December 1998, forming BP Amoco. Shortly after the merger, Amoco stations began a rebranding that saw the stations change their names to the BP marque while continuing to sell Amoco-branded fuel. Eventually all traces of the Amoco brand name were eliminated and the stations adopted the BP branding permanently, although Amoco's grade naming system is still in use. The firm's innovations included two essential parts of the modern industry, the gasoline tanker truck and the drive-through filling station. Its headquarters were located in the Amoco Building (now the Aon Center) in Chicago, Illinois. Lucian Bernhard (March 15, 1883 - May 29, 1972) was a German graphic designer, type designer, professor, interior designer, and artist during the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in Stuttgart, Germany, on March 15, 1883, as Emil Kahn to a Jewish family, but changed his name to his more commonly known pseudonym in 1905. His first name is often spelled Lucien. He was influential in helping create the design style known as Plakatstil (Poster Style), which used reductive imagery and flat-color as well as Sachplakat ('object poster') which restricted the image to simply the object being advertised and the brand name. He was also known for his designs for Stiller shoes, Manoli cigarettes, and Priester matches. Though he studied briefly at the Akademie in Munich, he was largely self-taught. He moved to Berlin in 1901 where he worked as a poster designer and art director for magazines. In 1920, he became a professor at the Akademie der KÃ¼nste until 1923, when he emigrated to New York City. In 1928, he opened the Contempora Studio with Rockwell Kent, Paul Poiret, Bruno Paul, and Erich Mendelsohn where he worked as a graphic artist and interior designer. Bernhard did extensive typographic work for the American Type Founders Company as well as other advertisers. For Amoco, he redesigned their logo in addition to designing a wonderful group of posters.

Plakate Heraus! 1915.
Est: $2,000 - $2,500
ARTIST: LUCIAN BERNHARD (1883-1972) SIZE: 36 7/8 x 46 1/4 in./93.7 x 117.5 cm PRINTER: Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin DESCRIPTION: A many-sided artist, Bernhard was born in Stuttgart, studied in Munich, and in 1901 became active in Berlin, where he eventually rose to foreman and part owner of the printing firm Hollerbaum & Schmidt. By 1920, he was teaching graphic arts at the Berlin Academy, but three years later moved to New York where he remained for the rest of his life. He continued teaching at the Art Students’ League of New York. This is a World War I appeal exhorting all good businessmen to resume using posters again—evidently a ploy to shore up the sagging fortunes of the firm. The little stamper guy is “Stehauf” (roughly “Get-up-and-go”), representing the text: “Bring out posters—the banners of revived business.” (Art Deco; Posters on Posters; Exhibitions; German)
