Stunning set of three large Italian posters from the first release of Antonioni's seminal 1960's film set in the world of fashion photography in London during the swinging 60's. Each one of the three measures 55" x 78" making them the perfect display for a larger room. The main character was loosely based upon superstar photographer David Bailey and the film caused a sensation when it was released. This particular image is particularly iconic and the most sought after of any design as well as being a partial 'country-of-origin' poster from this anglo-italian production. They were printed in three colours for display as a triptych in larger venues as a nod to the dark room production processes that were central to the film plot. The red version was also printed for widespread distribution but the yellow and green were only produced in very, very small numbers and, because they were pasted into position when displayed, almost all were destroyed when used. These three are in excellent linen backed condition. Full sets of these posters only come up for sale every few years making this a very rare opportunity. I've only seen three sets in the last 20 years. N.B. Because of the size and weight of this poster, we will need to arrange special shipping as it's too large for our standard delivery. Please contact us for a quote or you can pick up in person from London or Emsworth in West Sussex.
