"Gunter Rambow (b.1938) is one of the most prominent designers in the area of visual communication and cultural advertising. He produced numerous photo books and outstanding posters at the Rambow & Lienemeyer graphic design studio (1961-86), and is now carrying on his work at the Rambow, van de Sand studio. Particularly with his posters for the Schauspiel Frankfurt under the direction of Peter Palitzsch, Rambow succeeded in creating symbols for theatres claim to political involvement and effectively introducing them into the urban environment. From 1974 to 2003 Gunter Rambow taught at the Universitat Kassel and the Staatliche Hochschule fur Gestaltung Karlsruhe as a professor of visual communication. In 2007, the Museum fur Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt is following the example of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the Shanghai Art Museum and many other institutions and dedicating a major solo exhibition to his work. The show is an encounter between more than one hundred posters by Gunter Rambow -- dating from 1962 to the present -- and Richard Meiers museum architecture. The publication appearing in conjunction with this exhibition documents the dialogue between Rambows poster art and Meiers museum building. Authors Eva Linhart, Anita Kuhnel and Volker Fischer acquaint readers with Rambows poster oeuvre -- far beyond the limited number on exhibit -- and his aesthetic strategies. Not only is light shed on the latter from the art-historical perspective, but a sense is conveyed of Rambows innovative achievement in using the medium of the poster to create unmistakable corporate designs for a spectrum of widely differing institutions. The catalogue moreover provides an analytical appraisal of Rambows ability to trigger insights about the environment and human relationships in those who view his posters."
