RED GROOMS Charlie Chaplin, 1985

This original first edition exhibition poster, designed by Red Grooms, features an interactive cut-out design inspired by classic build-it-yourself paper games. Modeled after toys and activity sets often found in stores, this playful design allows the viewer to cut out and reassemble pieces to create a 3D representation of Charlie Chaplin, one of cinema's most iconic figures.

Known for his humor, wit, and exploration of pop culture, Grooms blurs the line between art and play, engaging audiences with tactile and participatory elements. His use of vibrant colors and cartoon-like figures aligns with his larger body of work, which often incorporates elements of urban life and pop culture. This poster exemplifies Grooms' distinctive style, combining fine art with interactive entertainment. It remains a rare and highly collectible piece from one of the most imaginative artists of the 20th century.
