The Star Wars Concert Poster - Considered the Holy Grail of Movie Posters! This poster was designed by Fox for a series of concerts that never happened; it gained most of it's popularity as a result of full-page exposure in "The Art of Star Wars" and the "Star Wars Calendar."

The few copies of the poster to survive have all come from either the artist, John Alvin, or Twentieth Century Fox executives.  37 inches x 24 1/2 inches. ROLLED MINT/NearMINT ORIGINAL CONDITION!

You only live once and why not enjoy :) See my other listings for other great opportunities. Please write with any questions John Alvin1948-2008Irvine, CA-Craig Kausen, President of Linda Jones Enterprises, Inc. announced today that renowned movie poster artist, John Alvin, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 6th.  He was 59. Considered the pre-eminent movie campaign artist of the past 35 years, Alvin's career began in 1974 with his creation of the iconic movie poster for Mel Brook's "Blazing Saddles".  He most recently contributed design ideas for the campaign for Disney Studio's "Enchanted."  In a career that encompassed multiple projects for such directors as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Blake Edwards, Mel Brooks and Ridley Scott, Alvin was considered by many studios as the go-to artist for movie poster and campaign art.  John Alvin said that his work "created the promise of a great experience" and in that he never failed.Alvin and his wife, Andrea, had recently relocated to New York's Hudson Valley from Los Angeles in order to be closer to their daughter and only child, Farah, a Broadway actress.   John Alvin said that as a child he eagerly anticipated the arrival of the Sunday paper so that he could peruse the ads for the new movies playing at the local theaters.  He was enamored with the magic of film at an early age and would create art inspired largely by his love of film.  That passion led him to the Art Center College of Design where he met his wife, Andrea (also a student at Art Center) from which he graduated in the early 1970s. His big break came with the job to create the movie poster for Mel Brook's "Blazing Saddles" in 1974. This campaign led to Alvin creating the images for numerous other Brook's films including "Young Frankenstein". His prominence in this medium was soon after established with his creation of the movie posters for Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Steven Spielberg's "E.T.-The Extra-Terrestrial" and Blake Edward's "Victor/Victoria."  Not only did Alvin create the movie posters for those particular films, but he also created many subsequent iconic film posters.  In all, Alvin created the posters for over 135 movies in a 35 year career. He is considered to be an innovator in this genre.Alvin's work is currently represented in several art galleries nationwide where his original paintings, drawings and limited edition fine art reproductions are displayed.  In his recent work, he continued to create iconic images for contemporary films like the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean series.
