In this episode of Platemark, Ann sits down with Angelina Lippert, a poster historian and the curator and director of Poster House, to discuss the inception and growth of the first museum in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to the art and history of posters. They talk about what makes posters and fine art prints the same and different. And they discuss the challenges and processes of acquiring, preserving, and showcasing posters, the historical and cultural significance of early advertising posters, and the often-overlooked artistry involved in their creation.
