Prime Time for Posters

摘要

John Terrey set a record in May by paying the most ever for an original American poster. But he's no checkbook-brandishing art maven. The retired electrical engineer paid $16,000 for a stark 1930s Rural Electrification Administration image promoting radio as a wonder technology. And his collection of just two dozen posters reflecting his pet interests, radios and skiing, are on display at his home and his ski condo. "I'm always looking for something to complement my collection of old radios," he says. "I'll pick up almost anything radio-related."
