…back in the hemp fields


“The Danish Collection” consists of eleven posters by Sture Johannesson printed by Permild & Rosengreen in Copenhagen 1967-1969. The collection was photographed by Claes Westlin, a pioneer in digital imaging, on August 10, 2003, in the fields of the first legal cultivation of hemp in Skĺne (Sweden) after more than 30 years of total prohibition.

  The true story of the Vandals T-shirt is from the exhibition by Pontus Hultén at Museum Vandalorum, Värnamo 2001, the peaked cap Ceci n’est pas une pipe from the René Magritte (1898-1967) exhibition at Louisiana 1999. Hemp leaf symbol is the original from the Underground poster by Sture Johannesson for Lund Konsthall 1968.
