Hand Signed and Numbered Variant Limited Edition Screen Print (24" x 36")
Mint Rolled; Artist Tyler Stout
Mondo, 2018
Artist Tyler Stout has gone above and beyond in this poster rendering of the Quentin Tarantino-written, Tony Scott-directed opus True Romance. Not only does this Limited Edition Screen Print have Stout's signature character collage style, but there is a barrage of small and fun messages within the outside borders reminiscent of what Mad Magazine used to do in its heyday. This Gold Variant Edition of the screen print is in unused condition and has been Hand Signed and Numbered 117/280 in pencil in the lower right corner. Through creative vision and original inspiration, Alternative Art in the form of Limited Edition Screen and Giclee Prints has vastly become a big part of the movie poster collecting industry amongst artists, fans, and galleries. With some starting as early as the 2000s, companies like Mondo, Spoke Art Gallery, Bottleneck Galleries, Vice Press, Mad Duck Posters, Skuzzles, and more have procured some of the most talented artists in the world to create lush and loving fan-desired art that was never available before. What began as a very small alternative for those seeking something unique from their favorite film has turned into a major industry where the best posters can sell out in a matter of minutes. Renowned names like Drew Struzan, Roger Kastel, Laurent Durieux, Tyler Stout, Olly Moss, Ken Taylor, Killian Eng, Mark "Jock" Simpson, Steve Chorney and so many others have shown there is indeed demand for amazing art that is sometimes as good as or even better than the original posters from a film.
The print is in mint condition showing no signs of being used or displayed. It shows only the most minimal signs of handling.
Directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino, this stylish and violent romantic thriller places Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette - as impulsive young couple Clarence and Alabama - at the heart of an impressive ensemble, including Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper and James Gandolfini.
Estimate: $300 - 600
