A Rare Masterpiece by Razzia: Parc de Bagatelle 1993
This authentic, hand-signed Razzia Concours Automobiles Classiques vintage poster is a signature example of French Art Deco revival, featuring a sweeping maroon-and-lilac 1930s grand tourer in three-quarter view beneath a cropped beauty’s winking blue eye and sculpted red lips floating above. Cream negative space and Razzia’s fine script signature at lower left keep the composition airy and elegant, with CONCOURS AUTOMOBILES CLASSIQUES lettered below in classic Deco capitals.
Gerard Courbouleix, known as Razzia (born 1950, Paris), became the house eye of Louis Vuitton classic-car concours at Parc de Bagatelle through the 1980s-1990s, reviving 1920s poster language for modern luxury clients including Chanel and Martell. Famous for elongated fenders, flat gouache color, and flirtatious femininity, his automobile beauties bridge fashion illustration and motor art. For collectors seeking original vintage posters, Razzia concours images are his most in-demand commercial series and photograph beautifully at large scale.
This impression shows rich burgundy, lilac, and cream lithography with sharp line and clean margins ideal for framing as shown. Offered as authenticated vintage posters should be, please confirm year, exact size, and printing from full margins and verso before linen-backing or museum mounting. As original vintage posters go, Razzia large formats present superbly with minimal restoration when color remains vivid.
What is an original Razzia concours poster worth unsigned? Unrestored examples with vivid color outperform later reprints and open editions. Among vintage posters for sale, French automotive Deco remains blue-chip decor for a garage, office, or salon. This certified vintage poster delivers instant Paris glamour, ranking among true antique posters in spirit — a 1980s- 1990s revival at its most collectible and display-ready when framed.
