An original hand drawn animation sheet used in the making of Aha’s famed music video for “Take On Me,” featuring band keyboardist Magne Furuholmen. This was drawn by animator Michael Patterson for the video and was obtained from a music executive who worked on the video (signed letter of provenance provided). At the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards, the video for “Take on Me” won six awards—Best New Artist in a Video, Best Concept Video, Most Experimental Video, Best Direction, Best Special Effects, and Viewer’s Choice (and was nominated for two others: Best Group Video and Video of the Year). It remains one of the most iconic videos of all time.
