Original artwork from Swedish Mac SE ads for sale
A buyer is being sought for the complete collection of artwork from the Swedish Mac SE ad campaign, according to myoldmac.net. The art was originally part of a poster campaign from 1987, painted by Swedish artist Erik Saxen, mostly in oil and some mixed media. The paintings reflect different artistic themes, all containing a Mac SE within the scene. The aim is to sell as much of the collection together as possible, but the site claims that if no buyer is found, the paintings will simply be auctioned off through houses like Christie's or Sotheby's.

shouldn't be hard
Can't imagine the whole collection would cost more than $1000 US.

Awful commercial art. Seems like the "artist" had no idea what a computer did nor why a Mac was different from a PC/ST/Amiga. $1,000 for this would be way overbidding.
