This original Carl Henning Pedersen exhibition poster is from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen, Denmark for an exhibition in 1973 with Pederson's work, "Gods of the Sea". It's an abstract piece where you can make out faces and a ship in the swathes of sea.
He was a member of CoBrA, a European avant-garde movement active from 1948 to 1951. The name was coined in 1948 by Christian Dotremont from the initials of the members' home countries' capital cities: Copenhagen (Co), Brussels (Br), Amsterdam (A).
Printed by Grafodan Vaelose, in Denmark
Dimensions: 35 in x 25 in (88 cm x 63 cm)

Carl-Henning Pedersen was a Danish painter and a key member of the COBRA movement. He was known as the "Scandinavian Chagall", and was one of the leading Danish artists of the second half of the 20th century.
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
