Screen Printed Poster (24" x 36"); Artist's Proof Signed by Joe Pesci (Beckett COA);
Very Fine Rolled; Artwork by Jake Kontou
VG Kids, 2021

This full-bleed, screen-printed Giclee poster features superb gambling-themed artwork in the shape of a playing card, with a fantastic sense of depth. It is an unnumbered Artist's Proof, signed in pencil by the artist in the lower-right corner. This example is rolled and in excellent condition, with a small rectangular outline in the lower black field above the Ace of Clubs that is slightly tacky, as if a sticker was applied there and subsequently removed (which is lightly visible), as well as other similar areas of light tackiness that are not visible, with various regions of scuffing in the upper-left black field. Affixed to the back, in the lower-left corner, is a small holographic signature authentication sticker which Propstore does not adapt.

"Casino," directed by Martin Scorsese, stars Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci. The film follows casino manager Sam "Ace" Rothstein, his enforcer friend Nicky Santoro, and wife Ginger McKenna, depicting mob-controlled Las Vegas and Ace's personal and professional downfall. Inspired by real figures, it earned critical and box-office success, winning Stone a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
