    Swissair / Australia. 1979.

    Est: $600 - $800

    ARTIST: GEORG GERSTER (1928-2019) SIZE: 25 1/4 x 40 1/4 in./64 x 102 cm DESCRIPTION: “In 1979 Georg Gerster was commissioned to do another series, as part of Swissair’s forthcoming commemoration of its fiftieth anniversary in 1981” (Swiss Skies, p. 42). On his website, Gerster wrote, “It goes without saying that producing the images in all the continents was a dream job. I had free reign in terms of scouting motifs... Commissioned to produce a poster for Australia, I flew around the island continent. Ansett Airlines, Swissair’s partner in Australia, offered me as many free flights as I wanted on their domestic network, in return for the right to later present all the poster candidates I’d suggest to Swissair in their in-flight magazine. When I had spotted potential sights from airliners on standard routes, after landing I chartered a small plane to make them out more clearly from a lower height.” This poster, showing the Great Barrier Reef, gives design credit to Emil Schulthess and Hans Frei.

    Swissair / Israel. 1972.

    Est: $600 - $800

    ARTIST: GEORG GERSTER (1928-2019) SIZE: 25 1/4 x 40 1/8 in./64 x 102 cm DESCRIPTION: “In 1971 Swissair commissioned Georg Gerster to do twenty posters of different sites viewed from the air. This specialist of aerial photography had already raised his art to the highest level by seeking out unexpected subjects, astonishing views and carefully selected lighting for his very structured shots. This series of posters bears the acronym of Swissair designed in 1952 by Rudolf Bircher. Its aim, to advertise the company’s destinations, was the same as that of previous campaigns, but it broke entirely new ground in the area of airline advertising. Georg Gerster’s posters might depict well-known locations... [but] by also selecting fairly unfrequented sites or situations that have nothing to do with tourism, he tried to make the public see the world—and mankind in general—differently. These posters represent a complete break with the past. They were extremely successful and won three prizes in the Swiss National Poster Competition in 1972” (Swiss Skies, p. 40). Design credit is given to Emil Schulthess and Hans Frei. (Contemporary; Aviation; Travel; Swiss)
