A Limited Edition Art Print (with art by Casey Burns; 70/90; measures 24" x 36" [61 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Two-Lane Blacktop, the classic 1971 Monte Hellman illegal-street-car-drag-racing thriller ("James Taylor is the driver. Warren Oates is GTO. Laurie Bird is the girl. Dennis Wilson is the mechanic. Two-Lane Blacktop is the picture."; about two men drag racing across the USA in a grey '55 Chevy; based on the story by Will Corry) starring James Taylor, Warren Oates, Laurie Bird (in her first movie role), Harry Dean Stanton, and Dennis Wilson (member of the rock & roll group The Beach Boys, in his sole acting appearance!). Note that Laurie Bird was 17 year old model when she got this major role. She did a great job and it seemed like it would be the start of a substantial career, but alas, that was not to be. Following a couple more minor roles, she quit acting and became a photographer. At the age of 25, she committed suicide in her boyfriend's (Art Garfunkel's) apartment.

This art print is one of the 270 Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse art prints in eMoviePoster.com's "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction". What is the special auction? First, some background: In December 2020 eMoviePoster.com auctioned 2,346 Mondo art prints (from the collection of Mondo founder, Tim League), and they sold for $732,660.00! But Mr. League mostly only gave us prints from 2013 to 2020, because the ones from before that time (back to 2004!) were ones he either only had one of, or very few. NOW WE HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED A COLLECTION OF 257 PRINTS, MOSTLY ALL BOUGHT DIRECTLY FROM MONDO, AND ALL BUT 12 ARE FROM BETWEEN 2004 AND 2012! These are the "rarest of the rare", and hardly ever change hands, and when they do it is usually for lots of money! But, as with all eMoviePoster.com auctions, ALL of these started at $1, with NO reserves and NO buyers premiums! The 257 auctions in this "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction" are the first 257 lots at the start of eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction, and all the auctions end April 17, beginning at 7 PM Central Time. Condition: very good to fine. The art print has a few minor scuffs but they are not very noticeable or distracting when it is displayed and it is otherwise in pretty nice condition!
