One-Sheet (27" x 41") ; Style A, Cinerama
Very Fine- on Linen; Artist Robert McCall
MGM, 1968

While any artwork by the infamous Robert McCall is always eye-catching, this Cinerama Style A One-Sheet featuring the revolving space station for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is among his finest. Giving grandiose gravity context to the depiction of life in outer space, McCall's work brings home the power of Kubrick's groundbreaking visual style, resulting in a picturesque poster out of this world.

There has been restoration to pinholes in corners and borders, a fold in the upper left and right border, and tape taken off the back of the poster in the centerfold area that left a slight surface abrasion. It was fixed with only minor touch-ups and thus preserving the striking artwork.

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 genius Douglas Trumbull), it remains a truly remarkable cinematic experience.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
