Catalogue information
When you look at this new "blank" stamp, you involuntarily ask yourself, "Has something been forgotten here, or is there even a rare misprint for us?" Upon closer inspection, it appears that this is not a normal postage stamp. It is not made of "paper", but first printed on real canvas. The Swiss Post also explains the empty stamp field to us as follows: The canvas is the classic basis for all kinds of paintings, it is therefore a symbol for art in general and because the brand image is empty, it symbolizes art that has not been realized . So even if we don't see anything, this stamp stands for "art" - at least that's how Swiss Post wants to see it. This first canvas stamp in the world, you can feel the surface and the stamp is available both individually and in a small sheet with a QR code printed on it. It allows collectors equipped with smartphones to download exciting information about the canvas stamp.
