This is a souvenir sheet (block of four) from the United Nations Vienna office featuring psychedelic artwork by artist Peter Max, created for the 1992 Earth Summit (Umweltgipfel). The artwork is divided into two horizontal pairs: the upper stamps depict a starry night sky with a Saturn-like planet, whimsical floating figures, and a radiating sunrise, while the lower stamps show a colorful landscape with mountains, a fisherman, wildflowers, and a sailboat on water. The sheet is printed in vivid, pop-art colors typical of Peter Max's signature style, and his signature is visible in the lower right of the artwork. The perforations between stamps are clearly visible, and the sheet appears to be in mint/unpostmarked condition.
