2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Single-Weight, Silver Gelatin, Vintage Photographs (84) (8" x 10")
Very Fine+
MGM, 1968

This group of 84 curated 8" x 10" black-and-white photographs from Stanley Kubrick's Cinerama masterpiece constitute an important documentation of this ground-breaking sci-fi classic. Included are great behind-the-scenes shots, character portraits, publicity materials, and scene stills, the majority of which were printed to resemble the widescreen format. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a significant amount of vintage original photographs from this seminal work from the 1960s.

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.
