Our expert's notes

One-Sheet (27" x 41") ; Psychedelic Eye, Wilding Style
Very Fine+ Folded; Artist Mike Kaplan
MGM, 1969

This poster for the Kubrick sci-fi classic was distributed to reboot the campaign after a year of distribution. These posters were intended to be wilded or posted on street corners to attract attention and are generally considered far rarer than the earlier Robert McCall posters.

The original printing of the "Eye" and "Star Child" posters have no NSS or other information in the bottom border, as they were created in rush time, not knowing if the campaign would take. This poster has edge wear, tiny corner bends, and light fold wear.

Stanley Kubrick's sublime sci-fi masterpiece elevated the genre from a B-movie staple previously typified by flying saucers and monsters. Dealing with deep philosophical concepts (not least the impact of artificial intelligence on human evolution) and changing the game for visual effects (under the supervision of FX master Douglas Trumbull), it remains a truly unforgettable cinematic experience.

Estimate: $6,000 - 12,000
