The Global Poster exhibition, Cph

plakat_hope_shepard_fairey__2008_

Just opened in Copenhagen’s Kunstindustrimuseet (Art & Industry Museum) is an exhibition curated by the wonderful Lars Dybdahl of some of history’s finest posters. Beginning with the some of museum’s own Toulouse-Lautrec prints, there are 300 original prints on display running right up to a signed copy of Shepard Fairey’s Hope poster from last year’s US elections. It’s a damn fine way to spend a few hours and very impressive to see all these posters on display together and does point out that apart from the Poster Mafia controlled mini sites and bus shelters around Copenhagen city, we don’t get to see so many tasty posters out there on the streets. Hugely enjoyable, the exhibition is on until January 31, 2010.
