58 POSTERS FOR EXPO 1958This exposition focuses on the promotion campaign for Expo 58, which was set up professionally and massively. This was the first time where several offical posters, their exact creation date, the amount of copies, different language variants etc. are considered. The expo shows the 58 most important posters which had to enthuse the people in Europe and the US for a trip to Brussels. Posters, frequently designed by the large ones, appeared for the departments and pavilions. Stunning promotional folders had persuade the belgians of the importance of a pleasant reception and more courtesy. Also commercial products and even film producers profited of the Expomania. A beautiful publication in colour, a real must-have, was published by Plaizier (Brussels) especially for the expo, which travelled to the Netherlands afterwards.
