Graphis PosterAnnual2011 features over 170 of the most visually compelling posters of the year, selected from international entries. For your interest, we are also presenting museums that collect posters, among them Q&A' with curators from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York City, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Danish Poster Museum in Denmark. This is an opportunity for designers seeking to have their work collected in museums; the curators offer criteria for how and why posters are selected for inclusion in their collections. The Cooper-Hewitt purchases only those pieces on its wish lists of posters and iconic graphic designers; the Victoria & Albert Museum makes purchases and accepts donations, with selections being based on a poster' significance in style, form, technique and importance within the art form; while the Danish Poster Museum does not reject any posters, and collects only through donation.
