The Basel master Niklaus Stoecklin always focused on the essential elements; in the case of object posters this usually meant the product itself and the logo. Here, the tube of Binaca toothpaste is contextualised with a glass and toothbrush. An icon of “New Objectivity”, a classic and a sought-after rarity.
