The frac Normandie Rouen choses to focus on a medium newly integrated in its collection: artist placard and/or poster, condensed under the english name Posters. Whereas it tends to loose some ground amongst graphic designers, increasingly, certain artists appear to be devoting particular attention to this medium.
