Poster House, the first museum in the United States dedicated to the global history of posters, will open to the public their fall 2024 exhibitions on Thursday, September 26, at Poster House, 119 West 23rd Street in Manhattan.
Fantastical Streets: The Theatrical Posters of Boris Bućan (September 26, 2024 – February 23, 2025) features six works that represent a snapshot within Bućan’s expansive career, focusing on the monumental works he created for his first season with the Croatian National Theatre in Split, who hired him between 1982 and 1986. While he had previously produced a few large-format posters for other organizations or events, these images, made up of six separate sheets of paper, became his best-known designs, transforming exterior walls into urban canvases for his artistic explorations. In 1984, the posters were seen as so particularly Yugoslavian that they were chosen to represent the country at the 41st Venice Biennale, revealing his work to a global audience and solidifying him as one of the most exciting and innovative poster designers in the world.
This exhibition would not be possible without the generous support of Mirko Ilić. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).
During normal hours, tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students, veterans, and seniors. Poster House offers free museum admission through New York City’s public library Culture Pass system.
