Hand Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Artist's Proof Screen Print (36" x 24")
Mint Rolled; Artist Jock
Private Commission, 2015
Like something out of a widescreen images handbook, the grandiose and all-consuming art within this Limited Edition Artist's Proof Print for Apocalypse Now by Jock is as visually masterful as the film it depicts. Truly a unique piece, this mint and unused print is both Hand Signed and Hand Numbered 10/35 in the bottom right corner in pencil. Through creative vision and original inspiration, Alternative Art in the form of Limited Edition Screen and Giclee Prints has vastly become a big part of the movie poster collecting industry amongst artists, fans, and galleries. With some starting as early as the 2000s, companies like Mondo, Spoke Art Gallery, Bottleneck Galleries, Vice Press, Mad Duck Posters, Skuzzles, and more have procured some of the most talented artists in the world to create lush and loving fan-desired art that was never available before. What began as a very small alternative for those seeking something unique from their favorite film has turned into a major industry where the best posters can sell out in a matter of minutes. Renowned names like Drew Struzan, Roger Kastel, Laurent Durieux, Tyler Stout, Olly Moss, Ken Taylor, Killian Eng, Mark "Jock" Simpson, Steve Chorney and so many others have shown there is indeed demand for amazing art that is sometimes as good as or even better than the original posters from a film.
The print is in mint condition showing no signs of being used or displayed. It shows only the most minimal signs of handling.
Francis Ford Coppola's epic ode to the Vietnam War, Apocalypse Now, follows Martin Sheen's no-nonsense military man on a secret government mission as he seeks out Marlon Brando's gone rogue Colonel Kurtz for termination. Released many times with many different cuts, Apocalypse Now remains an essential piece of filmmaking.
Estimate: $300 - 600
