2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Insert (14" x 36")
Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Robert McCall
MGM, 1968

This classic title's insert and half sheet posters have always been difficult to find in good condition, as they were printed on glossy stock and thus did not hold up well when folded and handled. This example is in nice unrestored condition and is folded as issued. There is a border tear with a vertical crease in the second panel, light corner creases with a small area of edge wear, and some creases from handling.

Stanley Kubrick's sublime sci-fi masterpiece elevated the genre from a B-movie staple previously typified by flying saucers and monsters. Dealing with deep philosophical concepts (not least the impact of artificial intelligence on human evolution) and changing the game for visual effects (under the supervision of FX master Douglas Trumbull), it remains an unforgettable cinematic experience.
