173 - WILHELM FREDDIE

WILHELM FREDDIE Exhibition at the Galerie de l'Université—Paris, 1965. Vintage poster (image enhanced by lithography), no printer’s mark. 57.5 x 42 cm. One edge has been altered. Note: This poster announces Wilhelm Freddie’s 1965 exhibition at the Galerie de l’Université in Paris. A Danish artist associated with the Surrealist and avant-garde movements, Freddie distinguished himself through a daring body of work that blended dreamlike imagery, provocation, and an exploration of themes of individual freedom. Often ahead of his time, he provoked strong reactions throughout his career, with some of his works even being censored. This exhibition reflects the growing international recognition of his work in the 1960s. The poster thus serves as an interesting testament to the spread of Surrealism and its influence on the postwar European art scene.
