The Omnibus Gallery has been in business for over twenty years and features one of the world's best & largest collections of rare & vintage posters. They, primarily, date from the late 1880's to 1939 when stone lithography was at its zenith. There was this fifty-year period when both printing and the art were perfectly matched. The posters at The Omnibus Gallery start at about $1000 and go to $100,000 though there are some for a little less and a few for more.
Artists represented include the Turn of the Century masters including Jules Cheret, Pierre Bonnard, Alphonse Mucha, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, a visionary who believed that lithography was the art of the future. Also represented at The Omnibus Gallery are the greatest artists of the 1920's and 1930's. They include Paul Colin who defined the Black jazz age in Paris, Charles Loupot with his sensitive look at the newly industrialized world, and A.M. Cassandre who is universally considered the greatest graphic designer of the Twentieth Century with his bold lines and strong flat colors. He used the vanishing point to give dimension to his images and his art celebrated the industrial age. We do have the largest collections in the world that are for sale of Loupot's & Cassandre's work.
