SLAVES OF NEW YORK

Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1989 James Ivory Drama SLAVES OF NEW YORK, based on the stories by Tama Janowitz and starring Bernadette Peters, Chris Sarandon, Mary Beth Hurt and Steve Buscemi.

Eleanor lives with the artist Stash. Just like his artist friends, he is completely unknown but is waiting for the big break. Stash is mean to her and finally she leaves him. Ironically, she gets her big break – as a hat designer.

Poster design by Concept Art Studios.

American-born (1947) Lucinda L. Cowell set up a print design shop in London in 1972. She worked closely with Terry Gilliam on “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975). She returned to America, moving to San Francisco, California, and designed covers for records. In 1980 she co-founded, with her husband Ron Michaelson, the company Concept Art Studios, an entertainment-advertising agency creating ad campaigns for both art films and mainstream movies. The company has worked on some of the highest profile movies of the last thirty years, including “Superman”, “Sex, Lies and Videotape”, “Mona Lisa”, “Barton Fink”, “Matrix Revolutions” and “Kill Bill”.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
