Artcoustic and Getty Images Offer Beatles Images on Speakers

August 2004 - Artcoustic, the Danish on-wall loudspeaker company, and Getty Images Gallery recently held a private viewing of The Beatles: Asian Tour of 1966 - a stunning collection of black and white photography that chronicled the Fab Four's mid-60s tour through Asia at the height of their popularity.

The viewing prominently featured Artcoustic high-end loudspeakers with grilles which can be digitally-printed with high quality images. Featured were many models of Artcoustic speakers with grilles featuring images from the Beatles collection. These images are available to consumers through Artcoustic dealers worldwide.

GETTY & ARTCOUSTIC JOIN FORCES
Besides the Beatles collection, the two companies will now make available through an exclusive collaboration, thousands of photographs in the Hulton|Archive.

Hulton|Archive is one of the largest collections of photography in the world containing more than 40 million images from the beginning of photography in the 1850's to the present day.

There are more than 350,000 images alone that can be searched through on the Getty Images Gallery web site. Getty Images Gallery can offer the benefit of a team of experienced picture researchers who can search for more specific imagery to satisfy an Artcoustic dealer's or consumer's creative needs. Their team is waiting to assist in locating the perfect image to match their Artcoustic loudspeakers from among millions of photographs.

ARTCOUSTIC IMAGE PORTFOLIO
For years, using designer fabrics and screened artwork or photography on the speaker screens, Artcoustic has set itself apart by offering high-performance loudspeakers that require no compromise in aesthetics.

Their Artist Portfolio offers a wide range of images and designs that can be used on the speaker grilles, but the company also offers customers the ability to use their own artwork or photography. Read more about this option at www.artcousticusa.com/productdetails_artwork.asp.

The special Getty Images on Artcoustic speakers screens start at $365 each.

THE BEATLES ASIAN TOUR 1966
When the Beatles toured Asia in '66, celebrated photographer Bob Whitaker was given access-all-areas coverage of the event. Capturing the whole iconic atmosphere, from the backstage buzz to the roar of the crowd, the resulting images encapsulate what it must have been like to be part of the world's most famous band at the height of their fame.

The images are on display at the new Getty Images Gallery, 46 Eastcastle Street, London, UK through August 21, 2004.
