Ib Andersen (Denmark 1907-1969) was born in Frederiksberg on 21st August 1907. He was an artist, graphic designer and architect. Andersen studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts (Kunstakademiet) in Copenhagen (1926-1929). Andersen then continued his studies for a year with architect Einar Backness (1879-1952), followed by a year with Poul Henningsen (1894-1967). Andersen was the art editor of Politiken magazine from 1934 until his death in 1969. As a commercial artist he illustrated numerous book covers and made a significant contribution to Danish poster design - Most notably his 'British Exhibition' (British udstilling) poster (1943), The Scandinavian Air Express (1933), Trivoli (1943), Danish Air Lines (1945) and Taxes from the Far East (Skatte fra det fjerne) in 1952 In 1952 Andersen worked with the Danish graphic designer Gunnar Biilmann Petersen (1897-1968) on a series of new bank notes (incorporating Danish landmarks) for Danmarks Nationalbank. For the banks’s second series of notes (in 1972), Andersen turned his attention to Danish wildlife and, as a result, had a pet squirrel at his Fredensborg studio for several years thereafter. Andersen traveled widely. First to Brazil (1930 and 1933) and then, in 1946, at the request of the publisher Poul Westermann, Andersen embarked on a three year tour of the former Danish colonies for the book 'Our Ancient Tropical Colonies' (Vore Gamle Tropekolonier). Andersen visited the West Indies (St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John), the Gold Coast (Ghana) and India (Serampore and Tranquebar). 'Our Ancient Tropical Colonies' was published in two volumes (1952-1953). Andersen also spent time in London (1954 and 1957) and Ireland (1963). Andersen exhibited throughout his life - Most notably at the Charlottenborg (1931), with the Grønningen (1933-40), Oslo (1948), Zürich (1951). A retrospective exhibition was held for him at The Danish Museum of Art & Design (Kunstindustrimuseet) in 1967 Andersen became a member of the Grønningen artist association in 1935 Ib Andersen died in Hillerød on 2nd April 1969, aged 61.

  • Ben Shahn, for the Sake of a Single Verse, Signed Original Lithograph
    Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
    This original is from portfolio number: 711 Ben Shahn (1898 - 1969) was one of the most skilled and creative lithographers America has ever known. From easel painting to massive murals, from original lithography to calligraphy, there is no facet of modern art in which Shahn has not been monumentally successful. Born in Lithuania in 1898, he and his family moved to Brooklyn, New York, when he was eight. He worked as a professional lithographer while attending high school, New York University, the City College of New York, and the Art Students League. In 1925, and again from 1927 to 1929, the traveled in Europe and North Africa. Shahn’s first one-man show, mainly on African subjects, was help in New York in 1930. His superb series od 23 gouaches, The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti, was exhibited for two years at the Downtown Gallery in New York City. This series is now in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of Art. His works have been exhibited at many museums and galleries in the United States and Europe. Important one-man retrospectives were presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1947 and at Amsterdam in 1961. The works of Shahn and Willem de Kooning alone were chosen to represent contemporary American art in 1954 Venice Biennale. In June of 1973, Pop Paul VI opened a select Museum of Modern Art in Vatican City. Alon with Picasso, Dali and Rouault, Ben Shahn’s work is proudly displayed. His death in 1969 left a major void in the art world - but his work shall live forever. AUTHENTICATION The Société de Vérification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale of New York and Paris certifies and warrants that this lithograph, signed in the stone bu Ben Shahn is from a limited portfolio entitles “for the Sake of a Single Verse...
