Gorka, Wiktor | 1973 | Cabaret
It’s no exaggeration to say that ‘Kabaret’ by Wiktor Gorka is one of the most iconic and important Polish posters ever created. Designed in 1973 it is a very rare Polish film poster by one of the most prominent artists of his generation. Bold, striking and provocative, this poster is an investment which is likely to grow over time and an authentic and unique piece of graphic design history.
The film Cabaret is a 1972 musical adaptation of the 1966 Broadway musical. Directed by Bob Fosse it starred Liza Minnelli, Michael York, Helmut Griem, Marisa Berenson, Fritz Wepper and Joel Grey. It tells the story of a club entertainer (Liza Minelli) who, in Weimar Republic era Berlin, romances two men while the Nazi Party rises to power around them. The poster depicts the Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) singing from the spinning legs of Liza Minnelli, which have been formed in the shape of a Swastika.

BUYING A VINTAGE POSTER
All of our vintage Polish posters are lovingly sourced from Poland and were the original editions commissioned by the Communist State to promote cultural events. Polish posters were printed in strictly limited runs to be displayed in town centres, theatres and cinemas - so any which survive have been lovingly rescued along the way.
For us, nothing comes close to the soulful charm of vintage Polish posters; the colours, the offset lithography, the matt paper. But please note, due to their age, many do bear marks of time.
We always do our best to describe any flaws, but if you have any questions at all about this vintage poster then get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you more info.
