PRESS - Antoni Legacy

May 28, 2023:

Recommendation of the exhibition "The Making of Wonderful Copenhagen - The poster artist Ib Antoni" in the Danish newspaper "Berlingske Tidende".

Bent Blüdnikow gives the exhibition a 5 stars review with the following praises:

"He sold us abroad as a cozy country - and when he was romantic, he hit something deeper in the nation"

"The Copenhagen Museum shows Ib Antoni's poster art and tells about his life. You will nod in recognition at his posters, which, when they are at their best, capture something quintessentially Danish.”

"Famous designers have praised his work and called his posters 'a significant modernist mid-century legacy', which, together with people like Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen and Jørn Utzon, helped shape a period. I think that is true.”

Recommendation of the exhibition "The Making of Wonderful Copenhagen - The poster artist Ib Antoni" in "Kulturinformation".

"Ib Antoni has noticeably left his mark on posterity. His posters put you in a good mood. There is always a smile in the corner of your eye when you see them. He managed to create timeless poster art."

"His light stroke, bright colours and universal message make you feel happy and you are never in doubt about what his message is."

"It is quite liberating to be allowed to feel joy and positivism, without having to deal with hidden messages. On the contrary. We look at the posters and see universal narratives. That is why Ib Antoni's works have become classics. We can all - in one way or another - relate to the fairy-tale, to the hope and the happy outlook on life."

Mention of of the exhibition "The Making of Wonderful Copenhagen - The poster artist Ib Antoni" on the Danish bog ‘Mig og København’ (Me and Copenhagen).

"Known for iconic posters: Experience popular artist at new exhibition in Copenhagen."

"The exhibition is the first of its kind, which not only shows a wide range of Ib Antoni's production of posters and designs, but also shows the artist's process in the form of sketches and finished drawings, in addition to letters and objects from the archives, that let you into the mystery of who the man behind the works was."
