I'm searching for '68 original posters for quite a while but very few survived to this time. For financial reasons, they were printed on cheap thin paper by l'atelier populaire, they were not meant to last. Not posted here in ages, but have a soft spot for Mai 68 stuff as it was got me interested in Banksy A ton of French households have these lying around, but not really selling, and a lot are in crap state pinned to walls. Our house was covered in them (my father was too scrawny to be in the riots but manned the printing press instead, and kept a copy of many) A good place to look is "leboncoin.fr", the french gumtree. As Ouroboros said you need to know your stuff, there is a lot of random crap, but some beauties now and then |

update- i have found 2 huge Nk posters under the bed- these are very definately the last ones I have left. One has been ripped out of its frame and needs good framing to cover the shite at the end but will be Ok when sorted- long story- it shows trains and buses ans all kinds of 21st transport against the background of Pyongyang. th other is a pic of NK women in traditonal dress. No guns or whatves I am afriad. Will unroll them and get some pics sorted. both hand painted and maybe a decade old.
Mai 68 is lovely lovely stuff- a real snapshot of the situationist period. Agree with notmattl- these are the grandad of banksy stuff.

 as you can see, this one has history. was originally framed up in NK. a good reframing and a mount will cover up the margins shit. its not immaculate, but then again, these are not easy to get now( they have stopped the export for obvious reasons). ist a metre or so by maybe 65/70 cm so a big frrame job |

right kids
given that
a) these are big and will require expert framing
b) one is mashed a bit and needs s good framer to add a sympathetic mount and cover up the margin issues
and
c) they are not the usual fire and fury images that people demand
I would be looking for a couple of hundred quid for the pair net of all fees etc. significantly cheaper than the previous ones I sold for the reasons above
these are def. the last ones i have left - everything else is on the wall
