Three Sheet (41" x 80") From the David Frangioni Collection
Fine+ on Linen
Warner Bros., 1971

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.

Clint Eastwood stars as a San Francisco police inspector assigned to track down a crazed psychopath in director Don Siegel's classic crime thriller. This particular example, which was folded, shows signs of border wear with pinholes, small chips, and general fold wear, along with sporadic separation along and near the folds. It has been professionally linen-backed with expert touch-ups to address these issues, including sporadic airbrushing on and near the folds and outer edges in the white field. There is a small scratch in the white field near the Warner logo in the lower right corner. Overall, this example presents beautifully and features a dynamic image of Eastwood in his signature role.

"Dirty Harry," released in 1971, is a defining film of the 1970s that transformed Clint Eastwood from a cult hero into a mainstream superstar. In this first installment of the popular series, Eastwood plays 'Dirty Harry Callahan,' a San Francisco detective known for bending the rules and establishing a violent niche in cinema.

Estimate: $1,200 - 2,400
