The racing took place at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, Germany. A total of 15 events were contested, with 12 for men (5 professional and 7 amateur) and 3 for women. This particular edition of the World Championships was notable for being the last before the full professional-amateur separation was dissolved in many events.

This beautiful poster by Ulrich Zen features a vibrant, abstract illustration of cyclists in motion, rendered in expressive strokes and bold, energetic colors. The text prominently displays a rainbow gradient, reflecting the international and inclusive nature of the championship.

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 very 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.

Ulrich Zeh

Ulrich Zeh completed his studies at the Karlsruhe and Stuttgart art academies (painting with Rudolf Haegele, art history with Hans Fegers, Wolfgang Kermer, and Werner Sumowski) with the state examination in 1971. He taught as an art educator in the following years (until 2012) at the Ernst-Sigle-Gymnasium in Kornwestheim.

As a painter, he had already made a name for himself in 1970 with his sports pictures. He did not present sport as the most beautiful secondary thing in the world but made competitive sport the central theme of his work in a socially critical way (Adrenalinbomben vor der Explosion, Christiane Binder, 1990). The starting point was his own experiences as an athlete (1964: participation in the Olympic World Youth Camp in Tokyo).

The second dominant theme of his work is the representation of landscape, not as a reproduction of a seen reality, but as a dialogically oriented composition of typical landscape forms: color landscapes and events.

In 1968, he met and befriended the painter Günther C. Kirchberger. Kirchberger also introduced him to the screen printer and gallery owner Roland Geiger, where he then regularly presented his latest works in solo exhibitions. In the Galerie Geiger, Reinhard Döhl and Stephan Geiger opened the exhibitions of the Zeh’sche Bilder.

Ulrich died on January 23rd,  2022, in Stuttgart at the age of 76.
