Yesterday, a better (unfaded) copy of this poster sold at auction for $50,000. You’ll see that the original fourth color was green, not gray.
Paul Shaw has written much more about the exhibition and the poster. He shows a comp with serif lettering for the text that was later set in Futura.
You can now snag a facsimile of the poster (in its true colors from another copy recently acquired by Letterform Archive) by pledging to the newly launched Dwiggins reprint on Kickstarter.
