6 Daagse van Antwerpen 1970 – Zesdaagse van Antwerpen

This striking poster celebrates the 1970 Six Days of Antwerp, held at Antwerp’s Sportpaleis from February 6 to 12. The bold design features a giant red “6” layered over a high-contrast black-and-white photograph of the indoor track and packed infield, capturing the electric atmosphere of six-day racing. The typography, “DAGEN van ANTWERPEN” in red and black, strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and impactful graphic style.

The three-man team of  Klaus Bugdahl, René Pijnen, and Peter Post won the 1970 edition. The second-place team consisted of track legends Patrick Sercu, Romain Deloof, and Alain Van Lancker, with third place going to the team of Sigi Renz, Emile Severeyns, and Theo Verschueren.

This poster has been archivally and professionally linen-backed.

Virtually all original vintage posters of this era were viewed as temporary advertising and were printed on fragile, thin paper. While expensive, linen backing is a conservation method used to mount, stabilize, preserve, and protect vintage posters so they can be displayed or framed without compromising value.

This poster is an original first printing, not a reproduction.
