News – Vintage Movie Posters - World

A fan, a mad and rich fan at that, has paid treble (£10,200) for some ‘Casino Royal’ posters at Christie’s. Said to be unknown to the usual Christie’s movers and shakers, the unnamed buyer splashed out of couple of ‘James Bond’ posters (1967), as well as an iconic ‘La Dolce Vita’ poster. Maybe this guy is merely super-keen, however, it’s likely he’s pretty smart too as these vintage posters have been up-up-upping in price over the years. Interior designers love ‘em, collectors lust for them and the average punter appreciates their significance too – because, let’s face it, there’s copies on sale everywhere from Montmatre to Camden.
