Original Concept Artwork (22.5" x 29.75") From the David Frangioni Collection
Very Fine- on board
United Artists, 1979
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.
An unused concept poster design for Francis Ford Coppola's hard-hitting Vietnamese war epic. While the studio eventually settled on Bob Peak's artwork for the poster campaign, this striking photograph of a child sporting a bullet belt is certainly eye-catching but perhaps a little too contentious for mass production. This example is mounted on board with edge wear and some tears.
Estimate: $1,200 - 2,400
