2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - David Frangioni Collection: US One-Sheet,'Centrifuge' Style C, 1968Bidding for this lot will end on Thursday 8th February. The auction will begin at 2:00PM GMT and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace. As the artist commissioned by the US space agency NASA to document the space program's achievements, Robert T. (Bob) McCall was the logical choice for Stanley Kubrick to spearhead the cinema poster marketing campaign for 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). McCall's designs for the film have become legendary, with this "Centrifuge" Style C by far the rarest. The Style C was only used in US cinemas, presenting the movie in the Cinerama aspect (much like today's IMAX). Since only a very small number of venues offered Cinerama, these posters were distributed in extremely limited quantities. McCall's use of scale and perspective is particularly noteworthy with this style. A rare poster for a significant film. Provenance: David Frangioni is a published author, music businessman, producer, technologist, engineer, philanthropist, and drummer. He has worked with Aerosmith, Shakira, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Robbie Williams, and hundreds more. He is CEO of Modern Drummer Magazine and has several books published, including Clint Eastwood: Icon: The Essential Film Art Collection and Crash: The World's Greatest Drum Kits, both by Insight Editions. Frangioni is considered one of the world's most prominent and knowledgeable collectors of Clint Eastwood memorabilia and boasts an enviable archive of movie posters and memorabilia.27" x 41" (69 x 104 cm)Condition: FineFolded with handling, edge and fold line wear.

(2)Luristan bronzes are small, decorated objects from the Early Iron Age (first millennium BC) which have been found in large numbers in Lorestan province and Kermanshah in western Iran. They include a great number of ornaments, tools, weapons, horse fittings, and a smaller number of vessels including situlae and are characterized by a wide range of idiosyncratic forms and a highly stylized conception of human and animal representation. Those from recorded excavations were generally found in burials. The ethnicity of the people who created them remains unclear, though they may well have been Indo-European, possibly related to the modern Lur people who have given their name to the area. Luristan bronze objects came to the notice of the world art market from the late 1920s onwards. They were excavated in considerable quantities by local people and are found today in many of the world's most important museums.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's London, 4 December 2019, lot 489 Price: GBP 1,250 or approx.
