Art of the Poster – Niklaus Troxler


For anyone that’s going to be in New York in March, the AIGA/NY is hosting an evening celebrating the work of Niklaus Troxler.

Saturday 10 March 2007

Design Presentation | Poster Exhibition | Jazz Concert
Join Niklaus Troxler for a presentation and exhibition about his work followed by a concert featuring Cecil Taylor and John Zorn’s Masada.

Niklaus Troxler is recognized as one of the greatest poster designers of his generation. The Swiss artist’s passion for jazz has influenced his work, which includes many posters for musical festivals and performances. AIGANY is bringing him to New York for this special evening with proceeds benefitting New Orleans. After a rare opportunity to hear and see Niklaus discuss his work, enjoy a reception and exhibition of his original silk screened posters in the lobby of the theater. Return to your seat for a concert of live jazz performed by an artist he has worked with throughout his career.
