An exhibition poster for Joseph Stella's Battle of Lights, Coney Island, Mardi Gras (1913–14), imagining a 1982 retrospective at a fictional New York gallery — designed in the typographic language of early 1980s Manhattan gallery announcements.

Stella painted this work as an oil-on-canvas tondo using fractured geometry to convey the sensory density of the amusement park at night. The circular format concentrates the composition into a single orbit, turning electric light, movement, and crowd energy into an all-over field of intersecting planes. It was among the first American paintings to engage seriously with Italian Futurism, and was ranked by art historian Sam Hunter alongside Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase as one of the most influential works shown at the 1913 Armory Show. Stella went on to paint Brooklyn Bridge at least six times with the same intensity — but Coney Island came first.

This is a designed poster, not a historical reproduction. It has been created as part of Art Poster Archive, a project focused on period-accurate exhibition graphics for artists and movements.
