Ski poster sale fetches record price at Christies

The sale of a private collection of ski posters at Christies, London on 25 January attracted record bids with this 1930 lithograph by Roger Broders 'Les sports d'hiver St Pierre de Chartreuse' (above, far left) fetching £32,450.

The auction featured 245 posters relating to some of the most glamorous resorts in the world including Gstaad, St. Moritz, Davos, Tignes, and Val d’Isere.

The market for vintage posters goes from strength to strength with its ever-growing collector-base, attracted by the colourful, decorative and skillful designs.
