From Hendrix to Bowie: the trippiest music concert posters – in pictures

Günther Kieser is behind some of the most singular music poster designs of the 20th century. Inspired by sculpture, the free-form nature of jazz and psychedelic art, the German artist created works for David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and Diana Ross and the Supremes, as well as mind-expanding designs for leading brands and art institutions. The exhibition Sculpting Sound: Günther Kieser’s Music Posters at New York’s Poster House gallery showcases his decades-spanning work and runs from 12 November to 11 April 2027. The show is accompanied by the first-ever English-language book on Kieser
