Description
Rare hand-signed, mint-condition original vintage lithograph poster of Los Angeles (1964) by Howard Koslow | Mid-Century Modern travel art
This original 1964 Los Angeles travel poster is a striking example of mid-century modern poster design and authentic California travel advertising art. Created by renowned American artist Howard Koslow, the poster captures the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles in the 1960s, featuring palm trees, hillside homes, backyard swimming pools, and a brilliant golden sunset.
The composition centers a yellow-and-orange sun against tall palm silhouettes and colorful residential architecture, with the distinctive red “Los Angeles” lettering, delivering a bold mid-century modern aesthetic. The piece is an original vintage lithograph poster, professionally linen-backed and archivally preserved, presented in mint condition (Grade A). It is particularly rare as one of only four known hand-signed copies from the artist’s estate.
Koslow’s work is celebrated for bold, expressive styling and modern interpretations of landmarks. He designed stamps and postal cards for the U.S. Postal Service and created artwork exhibited at prestigious institutions. This poster was originally produced to promote Southern California tourism and now stands as a collectible example of vintage California travel advertising and mid-century modern wall art.
This is an authentic original vintage poster, not a reproduction. Certificate of Authenticity included.
