Around 2007, 20th Century Fox distributed the Classic Collection of the first 6 films of the Star Wars saga and created this epic collage of light sabers, vessels and legendary character shots in this visually spectacular image for advertising it.
This is a photographic proof of the advertising concept art. (The last picture in the gallery shows the completed graphic art).
I had to take pictures of it under glass to keep it flat so forgive the reflections
I was told by a Warner Bros marketing exec I showed it to that a small number of art department proofs are produced for final management approval on layout, color, dimensions and placement of the legendary characters prior to adding text etc and prior to finalizing a poster print run for marketing and store display etc. This is one of those.
It is not a poster. It is a photograph, printed on photographic paper creating sharp, detailed images.
It measures approximately 48x30 inches.
I acquired the work at the apartment of a former Fox Studio employee whose art collection was being disposed of. It was discovered rolled up in a tube. As I got it some years ago, it has not seen much light of day. (I was not told his identity)
Please look at the photos and ask any questions you may have. There is minor edge denting from storage on top edge and some rear oxidation(?) on edge of back. Also a minor scratch above to left of Liam's head. And a few other barely visible minor dents from the initial careless handling by office minions lol! Just speculation mind you as I was once one of their ilk!
This artwork will be shipped rolled in a strong mailing tube via USPS
Note: I feel it should framed behind plexiglass if art is to come in contact with glass. Also, it having been rolled for some time, extra care must be used when unrolling, cotton gloves a must, and a secure way to flatten (large plexiglass sheet etc), as it will roll back on itself. That is the nature of the thicker, high quality photo print paper
It will frame up beautifully, I think.
