An Undated (probably 1980s) Printer's Test Art Print (measures 35" x 46" [89 x 117 cm]) (Learn More) H.R. Giger was a Swiss surrealist artist, sculptor, movie set designer and director from the 1970s to the 2010s. He is certainly best remembered for originating the sets and aliens from the Alien series. Some of the other movies featuring his sets and artwork include: Species I & II, and Dark Seed I & II, as well as directing a few movies including Swiss Made, Giger's Necronomicon, and Giger's Alien. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 74. Artist: H. R. Giger Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added to the width of the poster. Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! UPDATED 05/29/2013: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this art was used for the poster of the 1985 film "Future-Kill". Condition: very good to fine.
