Vintage framed “Poverty Sucks” poster by Jerry Mesmer featuring a sharply dressed man posing with champagne in front of a classic Rolls-Royce luxury automobile.
This blue monochrome variant is less commonly seen than the standard color versions and has outstanding late 1970s / 1980s yuppie-era aesthetic and social satire appeal.
The image is set in front of the Department of Health, Education & Welfare building, adding to the poster’s iconic social commentary style associated with 1980s wealth culture and Wall Street-era excess.
