Harald Naegeli, the “Sprayer of Zurich”
Sooner or later, anyone strolling around Zurich will come across a “Naegeli”. The line drawings by the street art pio-neer from Switzerland can be seen on countless walls and buildings. We’re honouring the artist with a limited special edition of just 2,500 sheetlets, for which we are upcycling the 2023 “Art in Architecture” stamp.
Harald Naegeli, der Sprayer von Zürich
In the year of his 85th birthday, we’re dedicating a special stamp to the artist Naegeli. It uses the design representing a grey concrete wall from the remaining stocks of the 2023 “Art in architecture” stamp, which forms the perfect basis for Harald Naegeli’s “Laufendes Auge” (Running Eye).
Here, what had to come together, comes together! Naegeli paved the way for street art in Switzerland. The stamp is our tribute to Naegeli’s pioneering work and the multifaceted nature of his art. We see this combination of stamp and artwork as a symbol of Swiss Post’s commitment to art, through which the company has been promoting artistic and cultural activities in Switzerland for more than 100 years.
The 2,500 sheetlets were numbered and signed in print.
The stamp is sold out and can currently no longer be ordered.
