Antiques Trade Gazette Review (ATG), issue 2067, 24 November 2012:
"A pair of striking Constructivist film posters by the renowned Russian graphic design brother Vladimir and Georgi Stenberg have set what is believed to be a new high for avant-garde posters at auction. Promoting the famous Soviet propaganda films Battleship Potemkin and The Man with the Movie Camera... a telephone bidder secured both posters at £85,000 and £90,000 [before commissions] respectively... The brothers were successful theatrical designers, architects and draughtsmen but their Constructivist advertising posters for Soviet Russia's burgeoning cinema culture are regarded as their greatest contribution to avant-garde design."
