2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - Set of Promotional Ephemera - Ephemera from the promotion of Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. MGM capitalized on the film's reputation as a psychedelic experience for young viewers by advertising a 1971 screening at The Ziegfeld Theatre as "The Ultimate Trip."

MGM's publicity department gifted this set to a film programmer who helped put the screening together. It consists of 57 black-and-white publicity stills; two psychedelically-patterned metal pins labeled "2001: The Ultimate Trip"; a spooled 35mm trailer for the film; and a black-and-white invitation to the Ziegfeld screening. The invitation and photos exhibit creasing. Dimensions: 8" x 10" x 13" (20.5 cm x 25.5 cm x 33 cm)

Estimate: $600 - 1,200
