Those 10 foot high Austrians (one each of many titles) were discovered around 40 years ago and they have rarely found buyers. They are too tall even for those who have room to display three-sheets or six-sheets.

Yeah, I can imagine. I thought it was difficult to display a 47x63. It will probably end up stored away out of sight somewhere... |

More likely it will end up being shipping back to the consignor as "reserve not met"!  Bruce |

That is one poster I wish I could afford. I have thought about purchasing the AFI Re-creation of this poster. I am on the verge of pulling the trigger. Cj |

Bruce is right about such massive items
I have some Coca-Cola paintings that are recreations of classic Coke ads from the 20s-30s that were done for a restaurant some 40 years ago. They are large, and I have displayed them at different times, but only where I could due to space.
for instance, I have a recreation of the great Haddon Sudbloom ad featuring Charlie McCarthy and the Coke Sprite (originally doen by Sundbloom in 1949). Sundbloom's piece would be better - if it exists (Sundbloom art is a long story), it probably isn't any bigger than 12-18 inches tall. This piece is 12 foot tall, and as you can suspect, it hasn't been displayed much.
Then I have another that repros an ad from 1923 - "6,000,000 sold each day"
this one is only 4 feet tall.. but it's 12 feet wide!!
right now the canvasses are rolled up in a tube 20 feet from where I'm sitting

I recently acquired one of my unicorns, so it is probably ok that I'm posting this. I would have preferred one in better condition, but you take what you can get when it comes to unicorns, right? Still trying to decide if I should restore this one or not... I'm thinking maybe no. It is not falling apart. And if it is ok for any poster to look tired and beat down, Deliverance would it be it. I guess there is no hurry anyway as my wife absolutely will not let me display it! She is totally grossed out by the huge vein-y eyeball staring into her soul... either that or the canoe-penetration/ass-rape symbolism, I can't tell which... maybe both.  As you all might have guess... I'm completely and entirely obsessed with this haunting poster. I felt lucky to have found the one above at all... however, I just scored an even nicer copy. As such, the one above is available for sale if anyone is interested.... please PM me if so. I'm only looking to get out what I put in. If there are no takers, I'll probably end up having it backed (I know  ) and consign it to Dave for a while before sending it to auction sometime in the future. Here is my new one... a crappy cell phone pic, but probably C8-C9 with only some slight separation at the top and bottom cross folds!  |

Behold my beautiful international one sheet LA Confidential:  As you can see, it is utterly ruined. I specifically asked the shipper to send only the poster (mounted to the backboard) but he sent the entire frame. It smashed in transit. Now my only option is to get the Australian one sheet or the US video poster. This international poster won't pop up again for years. I just can't win with this poster. I ordered a US video poster (Spacey in white jacket) and the 38.5" Sonis reprint shows up! However, to be fair, the printing quality is top notch.  |

Two concept posters for ET just popped up on Ebay - yowza! Has anybody seen these before? These come from the design studio of BD Fox, which created the bike/moon poster, and appear to be legit. They are dry-mounted. Are prototype posters dry-mounted before being "pitched" to directors? I like this first one the best: This historical artifact was an initial design from B.D. Fox & Friends, produced in advance as a poster prototype, a work in progress. B.D. Fox worked closely with director Steven Speilberg, making many changes to the design before the final version of the poster was approved. The following notes are written in pencil in the white margin on top of the poster "SHORTER FIGURE - HOTTER GLOW - HAND REACHING TOWARDS SKY". Indeed, these changes were made to subsequent versions of the poster, but ultimately this concept art was never released to the public as a theatrical poster.
This rare E.T. Concept Poster is in very good condition, professionally mounted on 3/16" thick Gator Board (it is unknown if it is acid-free or not). Poster Dimensions: 25 3/16" X 39 1/8" (approx. 64.3 x 99.4 cm). Board Dimensions: 27" X 41" (approx. 68.6 x 101.1 cm). All of the lettering, including the E.T. logo on the poster, are silkscreened on top of the poster paper. Some are peeling off (The "R" in "AFRAID") and some have been hand touched-up (see the "S" in "HE IS..."). There are some scratches on the poster to the left of ET. The edges of the gator board are worn with indentations, but is solid towards the poster. A valuable addition for any E.T. or vintage movie poster collection. It will display and frame well.  Here's the other: This historical artifact was an initial design from B.D. Fox & Friends, produced in advance as a poster prototype, a work in progress. B.D. Fox worked closely with director Steven Speilberg, making many changes to the design before the final version of the poster was approved. The following notes are written in pencil in the white margin on top of the poster "HIS ADVENTURE ON EARTH - GOUDY". Goudy is a font type face. Ultimately this concept art was never released to the public as a theatrical poster.
This rare E.T. Concept Poster is in good condition, professionally mounted on 3/16" thick Gator Board (it is unknown if it is acid-free or not). Poster Dimensions: 25 3/16" X 38 15/16" (approx. 64.3 x 98.8 cm). Board Dimensions: 27" X 41" (approx. 68.6 x 101.1 cm). Board is dinged and very worn around all edges, especially at corners. All of the lettering, including the E.T. logo on the poster, are silkscreened on top of the poster paper. Some are peeling off (The "I" in "HIS") and some have been hand touched-up (see the "R" in "ADVENTURE"). There are smudges on the printed poster probably from the gluing process. There is a 1/4" scratch on lower left next to text. A valuable addition for any E.T. or vintage movie poster collection. It will display and frame well.

A set of 4 or 5 of those came up for sale maybe 4 years ago. I think someone around here bought them.......at least, they were around MPF at the time. I cant remember for sure if those were included, but I think they were, and I also think the whole set went for less than half of what they want for those.

My recollection, which is hazy, is that the previous very cool lot contained around half a dozen smaller (maybe around 11 x 17) backed posters each with unique alternative annotated artwork - the price paid was around $800 - $900. These two posters are almost one sheet size and may have been short-listed designs from that original batch.

Sounds right Mark, but I am hazy as well. I do remember the hullabaloo when they surfaced though. I am sure a search over at MPF would turn up the info.

The ET concept posters were purchased on eBay over a year ago by Justin (spectredog). I think the total amount for the lot was between $1500-$2000. Here is his collection site, with the page containing the posters in question (and not mounted on a board, they are in great shape): http://web.mac.com/jzackham/POsters/USA_%28D-F%29.html |
