If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one other example of this window card, and that one had 1/2" trimmed from the bottom blank border. Also note that many people have credited the art on this poster to Saul Bass, and it certainly IS "in the Saul Bass style". While there are many, many websites that have this poster credited to Saul Bass, we think it is the work of another artist. This was confirmed by a collector who created an exhibition of Bass art, and was told by Saul's daughter that this poster was not created by her father. In the case of this poster, we know that Saul Bass did a title treatment for the movie, so that might explain some of the confusion. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: very good. The poster has a faint diagonal crease in the upper right that extends through the top of the "ER" of "KRAMER". Otherwise, it is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
