A German article about German poster artist, Siegfried Gross (written in German, so Google translate will help ;) )

Oh great (my hometown :) )
thanks for the link!

That adds some information regarding dark spots!
He mentions that he was one of the artists for "Kurt Degen",
an advertising company here in Stuttgart in the 60s / 70s.
See my artists topic "Kurt Degen". I was always wondering
who worked for Degen, this is the very first name I came across,
I'll try to contact him...

Good stuff. And I was able to brush up on my German in the process, too.
