An iconic poster design for possibly David Bowie's most famous film role as the alien in Nic Roeg's The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976). As was often the case, several artists competed for this commission, but Vic Fair stayed up all night to perfect his submission and won the job. The design places Bowie to the fore in an interesting framing of geometric shapes. Presented as conservation linen-backed, this Quad presents superbly.
