Artist: Philip Castle Important Added Info: Note that this auction is for two of the three different British quad posters for this movie (one is blue, and one is green, and the third, not offered here, is full-color). The creator of the ad campaign for the British release of Barbet Schroeder's THE VALLEY, was distributor-art director Mike Kaplan (LAGOON) together with noted airbrush artist Philip Castle. At one time, we asked Mr. Kaplan to provide us with the background on these three posters, and he sent us the following information: "The film is a sensual, contemplative journey towards a kind of enlightenment. An ingenious campaign was designed to indicate the journey whereby two single colored posters with appropriate slogans were first displayed in successive weeks before the full color poster (i.e. the poster of full understanding) was revealed. The campaign-- used in subways and wild posted on building sites throughout London -- began with the single GREEN poster ("There is no fear in THE VALLEY), followed the next week by the BLUE poster ("A sensual path to the unknown") and on the third week, the full color poster (all three had the same image). The three posters were used sequentially, so that all three were only seen together for one week, after which only the full color poster was used. Of the three original UK posters, the green and blue versions were printed in more limited quantities. The BLUE is the rarest, as a number were purchased by a British design magazine. Please notice this item contains nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars! Also note that these posters were never machine folded! Condition: very good to fine. There are minor creases scattered throughout the posters (more so around the edges), but they are otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
