Ture Sjolander did exactly opposite to what the american pop artist did 1964.
Ture was not impressed of the advertising spaces in the city he rather like to have power over the big billboards and make his exhibitions out door on all the billboards and in the subway stations. Once Ture had a plan to put New Yorks inside (Harlem and the social depression in US) outside of New York.
Dr. Jan Hannerz, an old friend to Ture Sjolander from the time in Gothenburg 1959 and 1960 open up a gallery in his home at Old Town in Stockholm. He was using two windows at the front of the familys house at Skomakargatan 5. Jan was asking Ture if he would like to make the first exhibition in his gallery. And Ture accepted it. This picture was taken 1963 at gallery "Two Windows" - Galleri Två Fönster. Jan is today a leading doctor at Karolinska Hospital,Sweden in Neurology. Actually Galleri owner Bo Karlsson consulted Jan Hannerz for a suggestion of the first exhibitor to Galleri Karlsson and Jan proposed Ture Sjolander.
Ture also introduced Ulla, later Jan's wife, to Jan Hannerz. At this point in time 1964, Bo worked for Bonniers Publisher - Weeky Magazine "SE" and for a picture agency in the same house.
