  • Marat/Sade theatre poster

    Marat/Sade theatre poster

    Est: $350 - $450

    1966. The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (German: Die Verfolgung und Ermordung Jean Paul Marats dargestellt durch die Schauspielgruppe des Hospizes zu Charenton unter Anleitung des Herrn de Sade), usually shortened to Marat/Sade, is a 1963 play by Peter Weiss. The work was first published in German. Incorporating dramatic elements characteristic of both Artaud and Brecht, it is a bloody and unrelenting depiction of class struggle and human suffering which asks whether true revolution comes from changing society or changing oneself. (source: wikipedia.org). Kemeny used the famous painting by Jacques-Louis David, The Death of Marat as the base of this composition. (keywords: vintage, theatre)

    Umbrella - dresses you up commercial poster

    Est: $800 - $1,200

    1969. This poster of Gyorgy Kemeny has become a cult piece. Legend has it that it was banned at the beginning of the 1970s but as a result, it became even more popular among the young intelligentsia of the age. For the people of the time this poster was a slice of the Western world. The reason for banning the poster was that it was too erotic for the censorship, not mentioning its pop art style popular in the Western countries at the time. The witty slogan was also too much as it clearly ridiculed the institution of cencorship. However, the artist himself says that there had been a scandal around his poster but not this one. It could be any of the two as their style and message are very similar and their author has always been a unique character not accepted by the system. He was fired as a result of the scandal, but years later he won the prize for the best poster with one of his pop art style pieces. The fact that this could happen shows that by the 1970s poster art got more freedom, the artists had more chance to express their personality and artistic talent. Kemeny was famous for his method of matching the slogan with the image and that is apparent on this famous design of his as well.

    Witches of Eastwick, The movie poster

    Est: $110 - $160

    1989. The Witches of Eastwick is a 1987 American comedy-fantasy film based on John Updike's novel of the same name. Directed by George Miller, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Daryl Van Horne, alongside Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon as the eponymous witches. (source: wikipedia.org). After his successful pop art inspired period Gyorgy Kemeny restricted his compositions to pencil drawings and expressive painting-like posters using marker and ink. This poster is a good example of his later works, where the idea is more dominant than the looks. (keywords: vintage, film)

    Cabaret movie poster

    Est: $300 - $600

    1974. Cabaret is a 1972 musical film directed by Bob Fosse and starring Liza Minnelli, Michael York and Joel Grey. The film is set in Berlin during the Weimar Republic in 1931, under the ominous presence of the growing Nazi Party.Since its release, Cabaret won acclaim from critics and is considered one of the best movies of 1972 with some citing it as one of the greatest movies of the 70s. The film won the Academy Award for Best Director for Bob Fosse, Best Actress for Liza Minnelli, Best Supporting Actor for Joel Grey, and five more technical awards. Today, Cabaret is considered one of the greatest musical films ever. (wikipedia.org) This poster is a good example of Gyorgy Kemeny's work from the 1970s: after his successful pop art period he decided to change and restrict his compositions to pencil drawings where the idea is more dominant than the looks - they are smart and humorous. Just like on this particular piece where the nose and the eyebrow of the face are replaced by a female figure illustrated in an erotic position. (keywords: vintage, film, musical)
