(Biography) Mervyn Kurlansky is a distinguished graphic designer, artist, and AGI member renowned for his versatile contributions to visual communication. Educated at Central St. Martins, he directed Knoll International's design consultancy before co-founding the influential Pentagram in 1972, where he shaped brand identities, signage, and publications until 1993. Relocating to Denmark, he established Mervyn Kurlansky Design, serving clients like IBM, British Telecom, and the British Library with innovative posters, packaging, and books. His seminal works include "Watching My Name Go By," pioneering New York graffiti documentation, and "Masters of the 20th Century." Achievements encompass Icograda presidency (2003-2005), fellowships in CSD, ISTD, and RSA, an honorary doctorate from Bulgaria's National Academy of Art (2022), and inductions into halls of fame, with pieces in MoMA and global museums.

PLEASE NOTE: All the posters and prints we sell are out-of-print and original, and can sometimes show signs of wear consistent with age. Posters in particular are delicate items that can easily suffer the effects of time and handling. The grading of posters and prints has been kept as simple as possible. Their condition is ranked A to C, which include further sub-classifications of plus (+) and minus (-) in each case (e.g. A-, A, A+). Items are supplemented with a high-resolution image, and any specific/significant flaws highlighted. If in doubt, please contact me for further information.

Grade A: items are in excellent condition for their age. They are clean and display bright colour(s), show no sign of loss, and minimal creasing or other imperfections. Grade B: items are in good condition for their age. They are generally clean, yet may present minimal tears or loss, creasing folds and pin holes. Grade C: items are in poor condition for their age. They may suffer from soiling, fading or discolouration, in addition to more significant tears, loss, creasing.
