拍品 65 Intourist Posters
Until the early 1990s Intourist was the official state travel agency of the Soviet Union. Founded by Joseph Stalin in 1929, Intourist was responsible for portraying the Soviet state as a holiday destination for the foreign tourist. The agency’s advertising exclusively targeted an external audience and presented an exotic, cosmopolitan, and capitalist-influenced image of the Soviet Union that was often deemed misrepresentative by the internal population.
The Intourist and Russian Travel section of this sale (Lots 65-71) offers a rare selection of posters designed by various artists working for the agency in the first half of the twentieth century and demonstrates the scope of the agency’s advertising campaign.
