Original Eurovision Poster, 1990 European Song Contest, Zagreb/Yu, Eurocat '90, musical wall art
This poster shows Eurocat, from the 1990 European Song Contest, or Eurovision.
The Eurovision Song Contest 1990 was the 35th edition of the series. It was held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (now Croatia) on 5 May 1990. The presenters were Helga Vlahović Brnobić and Oliver Mlakar.
Dimensions: 23.6 in x 15.7 in (60 cm x 40 cm)
This marked the first time the contest was held in a Balkan nation and the only one held in Yugoslavia prior to its dissolution in 1992.
Toto Cutugno was the winner of this contest with the song Insieme: 1992. This was the second victory for Italy, the first one having been Non ho l'età, performed by Gigliola Cinquetti in 1964. The lyrics of several entries celebrated the revolution and democratization that had occurred in central and eastern Europe in the preceding months, focusing especially on the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, such as in the Norwegian and Austrian entries. However, the winning song was an even more sweeping evocation of European unity, in anticipation of the completion of the European single market, due at the end of 1992.
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 or stained. 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 vintage charm.
