B&O or not????

11 replies

Hello everybody,

 

I got an image and I'm wondering if it could be something from B&O.

The person I got it from told me it is an image from two Penta's, but I looked it up on the web and couldn't find it.

Please help.

Yes, help certainly needed.

Edit

Poster print with confusing glass reflections?

is there any artist information on the artwork Popeye? I rather like the translucent medium they've used.

I think that poster was done by Per Arnoldi.  I am not exactly sure but it might be from the late 1980's. 

The artist is indeed Per Arnoldi.

Pardon me if I'm ignorant, but can anyone explain the alleged connection with B&O? I see two black rectangles connected with a rainbow, totally unlike my Pentas.

Oh, the 6000/8000 Penta series speaker! That explains it all 😁

Apparently legit for what it is then. Carry on.

It isn't an alleged connection.  It was commissioned by Bang & Olufsen.  Per Arnoldi is a famous Danish artist who has done many posters and paintings. His works were also on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York city and many others.  The reason I know about this is I have this poster which was given to me by my local dealer in the late 80's.  I also have the poster that looks like the Beolab 5000s.

Thanks everybody,

 

Now I know it is indeed related to B&O
