1984 Bauhaus Archive Video Promotional Poster

Original promotional poster produced in 1984 to accompany the release of Archive, Bauhaus’ cult video compilation featuring live performances and promotional footage from their early 1980s period. The material was filmed at London’s Old Vic Theatre in 1982 and captures the band at a defining moment in their career as pioneers of gothic and post-punk music.

Printed in deep blue with gold typography and a stark photographic composition, this poster is a strong example of mid-1980s alternative music design and an authentic piece of Bauhaus memorabilia.

Despite its age, the poster remains in great vintage condition, showing only minor signs of handling consistent with an original piece from the period. It presents very well and is ideal for framing.

A rare and original item, well suited for collectors of Bauhaus, gothic rock, post-punk history, and vintage music ephemera.
