The Making of Wonderful Copenhagen - The exhibition about Ib Antoni

On the 50th anniversary of the death of the artist, the Museum of Copenhagen presents the man Ib Antoni in the context of the world and time he lived in. Original drawings and designs never shown before are exhibited alongside iconic works that put Denmark and its products firmly on the world map. The exhibition is the first of its kind, showing not only a wide selection of Antoni’s famous posters and designs, but also tracing his artistic process from sketches to the final version. Letters and personal belongings invite visitors to go behind the scenes, meet the man who made the works, and get inside the creative mind of the artist - from the first scribbled lines on a napkin to the finished poster. Come and enjoy the images that went worldwide, as well as those that never left the drawing board. Antoni’s works offer insight into the post-war era, when Copenhagen was to be made “wonderful”, even though life wasn't necessarily so.
