A hand-painted Rocco Gioffre Detroit skyline matte painting from Fred Dekker's sci-fi action sequel Robocop 3. With the city on the verge of total control by mega-conglomerate Omni Consumer Products (OCP), cybernetic police officer Robocop (Robert John Burke) took to the streets once again to protect Detroit from criminals and corruption.

This hand-painted matte painting of the OCP building was created to complete a composite shot of the Detroit skyline above a street scene filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, as evidenced by the mostly incomplete bottom half. It is rendered in mixed media and marked "LA Trust Bl." and "ROBOCOP III SC. 1" on a wood-framed board by the film's matte artist, Rocco Gioffre. The painting is in good overall condition with scuffs and scratches throughout from production and age. Dimensions: 48" x 38 1/2" x 1" (122 cm x 98 cm x 2.5 cm)
