An Unfolded Special Poster (measures 24" x 37" [61 x 94 cm]) (Learn More) American Cinematheque, the 1984 poster featuring art of a cinema with spotlights in the background by Rick Farrell. This poster was used for promotional and fundraising purposes when this historic art deco Pan-Pacific Auditorium (built in 1935) behind Farmers Market in Los Angeles was to be restored to become the American Cinemateque. The county purchased the property in 1979, a year after it was both declared a city landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a year before it made an appearance with Olivia Newton-John in the film Xanadu. In April 1988, the county of L.A. unveiled plans to incorporate the auditorium into a 116,700-square-foot retail and entertainment complex. Costing more than $14.5 million, the center would include a movie theater, food court, a couple of restaurants, an ice rink, gym facility, and office and retail space. However, a year later, on May 24, 1989, a little after 7:00 p.m., the dilapidated Pan-Pacific Auditorium burnt to the ground, the work of an arsonist. Artist: Rick Farrell Condition: good to very good. The poster has some light creases scattered throughout from being tightly rolled at one time. Learn More about condition grades
