With its ninth presentation of the exhibition 100 Best Posters. Germany Austria Switzerland, the MAK will once again be placing up-to-the-minute graphic design at the center of attention. the best 100 “ambassadors to and/or masseurs of the public space” will again be exhibiting their design ideas in the MAK Works on Paper Room.

This year’s submissions overwhelmingly featured the employment of typography-based strategies that probe the range of possibilities between economy and excess in poster lettering. Among the 100 winning posters on exhibit, works by up-and-coming designers take their place alongside those of established figures in a refreshing combination, with this year’s presentation once again showing how, as jury member Holger Matthies puts it, posters “function as an irreplaceable category of urban furniture.”
