SAUL BASS (1920-1996) ALEXANDER NEVSKY / EISENSTEIN / PROKOFIEV. 1987.
21 1/2x22 3/4 inches, 54 1/2x57 3/4 cm.
Condition A: colors slightly attenuated at top. Printed on card. Matted and framed.
This may be one of Bass's rarest images, as the poster was designed for a one-night only screening of Eisenstein's 1938 Russian film Alexander Nevsky, scored by Prokofiev. As such, it would only have been printed in a limited number of copies.
