On paper, The best way to enjoy the alps this year
Werner Weiskonig (1907-1982), Davos Parsenn. Lithographic poster, 1936. Estimate: £1500-2000 + fees.



EDINBURGH.- For the many keen skiers who make an annual pilgrimage to the Alps in the winter months this season promises to be something of a disappointment. Relatively few will be travelling to the slopes while travel restrictions continue.

However, one way to get something of the skiing ‘hit’ in the New Year is to peruse The Ski Sale to be held by international auctioneers Lyon & Turnbull on January 20. The sale features a fine selection of original lithographed posters focused on winter sports and travel curated by former Christie’s vintage poster specialists Nicolette Tomkinson and Sophie Churcher. The pair first teamed up with Lyon & Turnbull to launch dedicated poster sales in 2018.




The sale features a group of ski posters of resorts in Switzerland as well as others from France, Austria and Norway - all of them in colourfulness and striking designs redolent of the eras for which they were made.

Werner Weiskönig (1907-82) is famous for his dynamic posters for sports events and ski resorts in Switzerland - his distinctly Art Deco 1936 image Davos Parsenn carries hopes of £1500-2000 - while an arresting view of Toggenburg by Hans Looser (1897-1984) from 1952 is guided at £800-1200.

The 1948 image promoting the merits of post-war St Moritz by Franco Barberis (1905-1992) is expected to bring £600-800. The Italian-Swiss artist first worked as a graphic designer for the shoe brand Bally before becoming freelance illustrator and cartoonist for Swiss newspapers and numerous children’s books.

All the gear and no idea when it might be used again? A vintage ski poster may be just the tonic.
