Chwast designed this unusually busy poster for the 1983 exhibition of his work at the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany, one of the oldest museums in the world dedicated to print. The illustration of a hand holding a battered suitcase with broken locks and covered in labels and an unlikely picture of a clown speaks to the artist’s idiosyncratic artistic journey.
