Dafi Kühne: Poster Cult

More than 60 new posters from iconic poster artist Dafi Kühne, showcasing his innovative modern designs using analog techniques

Since the 2017 release of his debut publication, True Print, Swiss poster artist Dafi Kühne (born 1982) has amassed an ever-expanding cult following. In his varied works, Kühne plays with the contrast between analog production tools and modern layouts. Since 2018, he has been working with larger print formats, which is made possible by the use of one of the largest one-person letterpress printing machines with inking unit ever produced. Poster Cult aims to build on this development and document Kühne's work over the last decade. The more than 60 posters illustrate simultaneous balance and tension between poster culture and poster cult, between the romanticization of the craft and the integration of digital tools. A glossary enumerates printing procedures and processes, thus enabling experts and poster enthusiasts alike to access the work.
