About the artist: Henning Wagenbreth (b. 1962) is internationally known for his expressive visual language and the diversity of his practice, which spans graphic design, illustration, comics, music, and experimental projects. Alongside his work as an independent graphic designer and illustrator, he has been a Professor of Visual Communication at the Universität der Künste Berlin since 1994. In 2000, the German Stiftung Buchkunst honoured him with its award for the “World’s Most Beautiful Book,” and his poster designs have continued to receive numerous awards. Wagenbreth has presented his work in exhibitions in Berlin, Paris, New York, Istanbul, Lucerne, Naples, and at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
This poster is about the PGH, which stands for 'East German Production Cooperative of Craftsmen'. Founded in 1989, just months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this group operated collectively until 1995. Comprising four prominent East German artists and illustrators—Henning Wagenbreth, Anke Feuchtenberger, Holger Fickelscherer, and Detlef Beck (known as BECK)—the group embodied the chaotic, energetic, and subversive spirit of the German reunification era.
