Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this is a world premiere invitation. Saul Bass' classic poster design shows a burning fire, so he had his staff literally burn the bottom edge of each invitation with lighters to really emphasize the flame motif! We have never auctioned this before, and it is surely extremely rare! Also note that this item, and several other rare Saul Bass items, were consigned to us by a very longtime Saul Bass collector who painstakingly tracked down these items over many years! This is a great opportunity to add rare unusual Saul Bass items to your collection. Condition: very good to fine. The invitation is in excellent condition (except, of course, for the intentional burned edge; see above)! Learn More about condition grades
