Special Commercial Poster (29" x 42.25") From the David Frangioni Collection

Paramount, 1968

Provenance: David Frangioni is a published author, music businessman, producer, technologist, engineer, philanthropist, and drummer. He has worked with Aerosmith, Shakira, Ringo Starr, Ozzy Osbourne, Robbie Williams, and hundreds more. He is CEO of Modern Drummer Magazine and has several books published, including Clint Eastwood: Icon: The Essential Film Art Collection and Crash: The World's Greatest Drum Kits, both by Insight Editions. Frangioni is considered one of the world's most prominent and knowledgeable collectors of Clint Eastwood memorabilia and boasts an enviable archive of movie posters and memorabilia.

Roger Vadim's 'swinging sixties' sci-fi fantasy Barbarella (1968) launched the career of Jane Fonda and firmly established her as one of the decade's sexiest actresses. Printed to promote the film was this commercial poster issued by the company Personality Posters, which features Jane Fonda as the titular space heroine posing with a Penguin. Commercial posters rarely attain any real value, but this particular piece is hugely collectible as it was recalled at the time due to legal and licensing issues. The poster was printed in two sizes, with this example having normal-size borders.
