Description

2001: A Space Odyssey (MGM, 1968). Special International Italian-Printed Poster (39.75" X 55") Robert McCall Artwork.
Boasting even more color than the coveted style C one sheet, which shares the same image, this mind-bending poster showcases the full artwork created by space illustration extraordinaire, Robert McCall. Recruited by none other than NASA to render their out-of-this-world images, McCall is considered to be one of the best artists to illustrate mankind's journey among the stars. Although printed in Italy, this textless poster no doubt was intended to see international distribution without language becoming a barrier. Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Kubrick's monumental sci-fi classic, the poster shows edge wear with small tears, creasing, and some unobtrusive smudging. There is a stain at the bottom, staining in the left border, and touchup has been applied to a chip at the right edge. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
