Formulated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, the Academy's mercurial Exhibitions Secretary, Apocalypse was the Royal Academy's millennial exhibition, with the subtitle 'Beauty and Horror in Contemporary Art'. Visitors entered through a small floor-level hole into a recreation of the basement of Gregor Schneider's project Haus u r. The show's central exhibit was Jake & Dinos Chapman's monumental nightmare in miniature, Hell (since destroyed in a fire).
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard-backed envelope for protection. They have been stored folded.
