40" x 60"; Style Y
Very Fine on Linen
Warner Bros., 1955

This is the incredibly scarce Style Y 40" x 60", which rarely comes to market.

This professionally restored poster's white field has been airbrushed. A chip in the bottom right corner and one on the lower left edge were repaired.

The title alone summed up a generation of youth without direction, and their patron saint was James Dean. Dean rose to stardom in East of Eden the previous year, depicting a young man searching for direction and acceptance. With Rebel without a Cause, Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo solidified the persona of misunderstood youth and became the idols and symbols of teens across America.

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
