Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that everyone agrees that this poster and "Vertigo" are Saul Bass' two best posters, and it has continued to surprise me that the Vertigo poster regularly sells for much more than this poster! Personally, I like this image just as much (or better) than the image on the Vertigo poster, and I also like this movie just as much (or better) than Veritgo! I think this is an imbalance in the "poster marketplace" that is sure to get corrected over time. I see no reason why one of these posters should sell for less than the other! Note that this poster is not marked, but it is NOT the style A poster, and since we know that there IS a style A poster on this title, we assume that this poster is the style B, so we are referring to it in that fashion. Condition: good. The poster has small separation at the bottom crossfold. It has a circular tack hole stain with a hole in the center of it in the upper right of the background area, and a similar one in the upper left corner of the background area. You can see from those two tack hole stains and from the top edge of the top background area that it was originally a darker orange color and that when it was displayed, it faded to a lighter orange yellow color. Other than the above defects, the poster is in nice condition, and has never had any restoration. One might choose to leave it as it is, or to even out the color in the top either by making the darker color lighter or by making the lighter color darker. This will be the choice of the new owner of this poster! Please bear the above in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
