Released under official license from Paramount and the Hitchcock Estate, this print by Laurent Durieux is a beautiful homage to the classic 1955 thriller starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Durieux has cleverly used the fireworks to double as the one of the bejewelled artifacts stolen by the mysterious cat-burglar. The example on offer here is a Variant edition print hand-numbered #148/150. Dark Hall Mansion was the first to introduce Durieux's work to the alternative movie poster and US markets, allowing his designs to reach a worldwide audience and gain a huge following. Several of the designs included in this collection are some of his earliest works, making them extremely scarce.

Provenance: This lot originates from the Dark Hall Mansion archive. Beginning in 2011, Dark Hall Mansion had established itself as one of the leading names in offering creative and in-demand alternative movie posters. Over the years, they released an array of poster designs created by leading and established artists who produced imaginative interpretations of cinema, music and more. Most importantly, their releases were officially licensed by the film, television, and music brands they worked with, making their posters part of the official collecting legacies of these classic titles.
