Description

We have been buying and selling original posters for over thirty years. In 1984, we became one of the first auction houses to specialize in poster-only auctions. We held our first auction in 1984 in Germany (Jörg Weigelt Auktionen). In 1995, we established an outlet in the San Francisco Bay Area where we have been conducting our U.S. auctions (PosterConnection, Inc.). We have published over 100 catalogs for our sales.
Mather Work Incentive poster form 1929The posters in our auctions always come from a wide array of subject areas and have dated from as early as the 1850s through contemporary classics from the 1990s. While most of our catalogs present a mixed bag of international posters related to advertising, travel, art & culture and propaganda, we have published specialized catalogs in the areas of film, rock & roll, military & politics, photography and books & ephemera. All of our catalogs are published in full-color and the highest printing quality. Catalogs are available in full for online viewing.

In 2000, we were the first to allow live online participation in poster auctions. You can participate in our San Francisco sales live in person, by absentee ballot or directly from the comfort of your home from your personal computer. Our four annual auctions are usually scheduled during the months of March, May, September and November. In addition to our live and online sales, we also offer posters through occasional online only sales and our online gallery through Invaluable and posterconnection.com.

Whether you are a novice or an established collector, we invite you to contact us if you have any questions about our auctions or are interested in buying or selling vintage posters.
