Voyage of the Damned Original Poster Art Painting and Award
An astonishing find. A deluxe, handpainted and fully original work of art by renowned movie poster artist Richard Amsel for the posters to Voyage of the Damned (1976), Stuart Rosenberg's star-studded exploration of the fate of nearly 1,000 Jewish refugees who fled Nazi persecution only to be refused entrance to Cuba. This enormous, exciting painting features nearly all of the film's celebrity stars: Faye Dunaway in the foreground, Orson Welles, James Mason, Malcolm McDowell, Max Von Sydow and more. The painting is housed in a wooden frame and was gifted to a prominent commercial artist many years ago. Painting is unsigned. The lot further includes the painting's companion award plaque, which depicts the poster art and features a handwritten notation of "Crown Trophy # M" on the back. A unique treasure. Richard Amsel is most famous for painting the artwork used on the posters for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the original of which is now owned by George Lucas. Oversized item. Additional postage required. (Painting 53x35x1, Plaque 14x11.5x1)
