Description

Anatomy of a Murder (Columbia, 1959). Fine/Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (26.75" X 40.75") Saul Bass Artwork.
This bold, minimalist one sheet for Anatomy of a Murder, designed by the legendary Saul Bass after several concept alterations, reduces Otto Preminger's landmark courtroom drama to a stark fragmented figure that powerfully conveys its tension and intrigue. Starring James Stewart, Lee Remick, and Ben Gazzara, the film stands as a daring exploration of morality, justice, and desire, while the poster endures as an icon of mid-century design and a highly coveted prize for collectors. Airbrushing and touchup have corrected edge and fold wear, pinholes with tears and chips, small fold/crossfold separation, some tears, minute chips (with replacement), ink stain bleedthrough, and other slight stains/staining. It now presents quite well.
