ROGER HERMAN In the Evening in a Boat, 1989

This vintage exhibition poster was produced for Art of the ’80s, a group exhibition drawn from the collection of Chemical Bank and presented at the Montclair Art Museum from January 29 through April 9, 1989. The exhibition marked the museum’s 75th anniversary, highlighting contemporary works that defined the visual language of the decade.

The poster features In the Evening in a Boat by Roger Herman, a composition that reflects the expressive and painterly tendencies characteristic of late 20th-century figurative abstraction. With its bold handling of form and color, the image captures the atmospheric and introspective qualities that distinguish Herman’s work.

Issued in conjunction with this celebratory exhibition, the poster stands as both a visual statement and a historical document of institutional collecting practices during the 1980s, when corporate collections played a significant role in shaping public engagement with contemporary art.

Printed in the pre-digital poster era, it reflects the clarity and quality associated with exhibition materials of the period.

A desirable piece for collectors of late 20th-century art, corporate collection history, and museum exhibition posters.
