[POSTER]. DADA MOVEMENT POSTER. ZUR MEISE. Zurich, 1918. 46.9 x 32.2 cm, watercolor engraving by Marcel JANCO, framed (very slight creases). Poster from the Dada movement for Tristan Tzara’s event held at the Zunfthaus zur Meisen, a Baroque palace in Zurich. It was on this occasion that Tzara read some of his works and his Dada manifesto for the first time. The poster is enhanced with watercolor by Marcel Janco. Poster formerly owned by Francesco Meriano. A graphic icon of the Zurich Dada movement, of which fewer than 10 copies exist worldwide. Of the utmost rarity. Presumably the most exceptional copy in existence.
