1980 Richard Mortensen Exhibition Poster - Original Vintage Poster

Created in 1980 for an exhibition at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, this poster presents the work of Danish modernist artist Richard Mortensen, a key figure in post-war European abstraction.

The composition is built from sharp geometric planes layered in vivid orange, green, blue, yellow, and muted earth tones. Intersecting lines and arcs cut across the surface, creating movement and tension, while the strong color contrasts give the work a bold, architectural presence.

Rather than depicting a recognizable scene, the poster invites the viewer to experience balance, rhythm, and energy — a hallmark of Mortensen’s abstract language. The design reflects the optimism and clarity of late modernism, where color and form were used to communicate emotion without narrative.

Printed for a limited exhibition period in 1980, this original poster is both a historical document of Danish art culture and a striking contemporary design object for modern interiors.
