IB ANDERSEN POLITIKEN. 1965.
68 1/4x24 1/4 inches. Henrik Sandbergs, Copenhagen.
Condition A: minor discoloration in margins. Two sheets.
An ad for a Danish newspaper printed in a bright and lively combination of blues, browns, greens, reds, yellows, pinks and purples forming a high energy, exciting, jumbled, abstract, symbolic city street scene and displaying a strong Cubist and Bauhaus influence. At the top of the image, above the visually stimulating tumult, is the newspaper -- the only clear, understandable image in the poster -- an indication that the paper can help make order out of daily life.
