An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Blow-Up (sometimes known as "Blowup" or "Blow Up"), the 1967 Michelangelo Antonioni (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English/Italian/U.S. crime mystery thriller ("Michelangelo Antonioni's first English language film"; "Antonioni's camera never flinches.

Artist: Ercole Brini Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie! Note that when this movie first came out in 1966, the original poster campaign had a photographic image, but when the movie became a major sensation, new posters were created with a striking image by Ercole Brini. Since the movie was never out of release during that time, the 1967 posters are not generally considered "re-releases", but they ARE from 1967 (although there are no similar posters from 1966, only photographic posters which are extremely rare). Also note that this Italian two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]. Finally, note that this poster was folded in half an extra time. If it is purchased by itself (or solely with other posters that were folded an extra time), then it can be sent in one of our standard size mailers. But if it is purchased with posters that were NOT folded an extra time, then it will need to be sent in one of our oversized flat packages. If you solely purchase this poster, we will re-fold it an extra time. Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was folded in half an extra time. There is a series of small holes that form numbers at upper and lower left and right, typical of Italian posters of this period. Overall, the poster appears to have never been used and other than the above minor defects, is in generally nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
