Newswise — The International Vintage Poster Dealers Association (IVPDA) has launched its latest online gallery show featuring affordable, authentic vintage posters as the perfect holiday gift. The show is available on the association's website, http://www.ivpda.com, from November 4 through December 31, 2005. "The site offers a selection of posters for those looking to give valuable—and value- priced—art as holiday gifts," says Lars Larsson, president of the IVPDA. "Rare and collectible posters feature a variety of subjects from food and wine to travel, entertainment, recreation, gardening and patriotic themes, among others, and can be purchased for friends, colleagues, family members, or that special someone—all without even leaving the house. Perfect for the serious or amateur collector, most of the featured posters are priced in the $500 range."
The focus of the IVPDA Online Gallery changes every two months. The site provides an opportunity for collectors, dealers, and museum curators to view authentic vintage posters by various noted artists from around the world and purchase these works of art online. It also contains useful information for the consumer on how to identify and purchase certified vintage posters. "We developed the Online Gallery to help collectors as well as the general public gain access to many of the world's most important and highly valued vintage poster dealers and provide an opportunity to purchase these works of art," says Larsson. "By putting a different exhibit online every two months, we will be bringing the world of international vintage poster collection to anyone with a computer." The International Vintage Poster Dealers Association was founded in 1996 by a group of highly respected poster dealers from North America and Europe. The association was created to inform and educate the public, collectors and other buyers, and to help promote the appreciation of the wide variety of vintage posters from around the globe. The association, with more than 60 members, provides strict guidelines to ensure the authenticity of the posters they offer for sale and to promote ethical and fair business practices.
