Fully Authenticated / Curated. [/b] Please Be Patient for High Res Images to Load ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Posting on behalf of a close friend, who lives near me, who is selling a few of his pieces as he currently doesn't have the room to display them. This Poster is a Six Sheet Original, measuring 81 x 81", for "War of the Worlds".
He is selling this particular piece because he is moving and does not have the proper space to display it in his new home. This poster was obtained from the private collection / estate auction of actor Bruce Willis. Fully documented; from one of the Top 3 Auction Houses Worldwide, verified with all documents.
The poster was purchased in VF condition on Linen. After purchase; he contacted the auction house about the linen age/having it re-backed and having additional restoration work done.
Through the auction house, he was put in contact with their restorationist, who took the poster, and had the following done: De-backing from Linen; Wash, Re-Linen Backing to new Museum Acid Free Rag, the alignment on the 6 sections is fantastic. Light touch-up work was done using watercolor restoration methods. He had it backed with an additional 8" of canvas all the way around, and then the canvas (not the poster), was painted with black paint to cover the frame which was custom built by the restorationist to display it with the look of having a black border.
Six Sheets are difficult to frame, because glass and plexi are hard to find in 81" widths. Most Six and Three Sheets are displayed using the frame method used here.
The poster has since been on display in various galleries and studios and is now rolled and ready for auction.
The pictures speak for themselves. The poster is in exceptional condition, and would be graded as VF / VF+ Condition.
The frame is also included, which was custom built and assembles with the provided hardware.
The pictures speak for the piece itself. For a serious collector or someone with a space/home that has large walls that can accommodate such a piece.
The poster will be shipped in the original tubes used by the restorationist/auction house. They are 88" PVC tubes 8" in diameter with PVC Caps. They are crush proof. Shipping is available WORLDWIDE through buyers choice of insured and bonded carrier. PRICE: TAKING OFFERS - BTC ACCEPTED / ESCROW OK BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME
