There’s a stretch along the Champs Elysees near The Grand Palais that sometimes has delightful series of outdoor posters. A few years ago I wrote about Vogue magazine covers that were featured.
Celebrer Paris is the newest one, a series of 40 street posters by 40 renowned poster artists from 25 countries who were asked to create an image about Paris. It is sponsored by Du Fete de Graphistes, an organization run by the city to celebrate graphic design, partly sponsored by JP Decaux, the leading Paris billboard and outdoor advertising company. Du Fete de Graphistes is also sponsoring other exhibitions around the city.
