| USSR posters, Soviet poster
The following collection includes more than 1300 Soviet political posters. New acquisitions are placed at the beginning of the list. The collection is systematically updated, mostly with the posters of the early period of USSR. The historical framework of the collection is from February 1917 until December 1991. A big attention has been given to systematization of the collection. The collection can be viewed by the catalogue number, year and author, in alphabetical order. All the posters are divided into groups and subgroups by category, historical period, author, series, place of publication or edition, style, technique of manufacture etc. The website can match corresponding posters according to the groups stated above. Furthermore the 'advanced search' function allows users to find posters matching various criteria. Sergo Grigorian has carefully constructed a collection of political posters, deliberately disregarding other interesting Soviet themes such as cinema, circus, theatre, sports and advertising (except those with clear underlying political meaning). In addition, Sergo Grigorian collects a wide range of literature and photographic materials related to the Soviet poster. Under each poster's description there are references to printed sources where the poster is published or mentioned. “The explanations and abbreviations” section would help the interested visitor to understand the context of the presented Soviet posters. While creating the collection there were inevitably some duplicates and posters which do not match the overall political theme. These examples are offered for sale or exchange. (Please follow the link for the details).
Sergo Grigorian would be pleased to receive any proposals for the purchase of the new exhibits, as well as any comments or suggestions for the description of the collection, about organisation of exhibitions, prepositions of publications etc.
