Liechtenstein - SNA Abstract Joint Issue
Victor Manta
things in common, and this in spite of the big distance that separate them
as well linguistically as geographically. One of the most important
similarities being their common love for arts, the postal administrations of
both countries decided to dedicate their first joint issue to the modern
art, by taking advantage of the stamps series "Homage to Liechtenstein",
introduced in 1993.
The two stamps of Liechtenstein are based on designs by the Swiss artist
Gottfried Honegger, an outstanding representative of abstract art since the
1960s. His commitment to public art is always marked with a social tinge and
geared toward radical freedom thinking. His artistic stance is marked by a
very high degree of independence.
This is less the case of the artist who created the both stamps of the
SNA issue - a still inexperienced Swiss follower of the renown master, who
designed as well the FDC of the joint issue as the SNA cancel.
More about this joint issue, and also about the new SNA currency - the
EuroDollar, can be found on the page:
