The upcoming auction of Vintage movie posters at Christie’s puts estimates of upwards of £3000 on some of the rarer James Bond posters. With prices for original vintage James Bond posters starting at around £300 this is not an accessible art form for everybody, however a couple of sites are offering excellent reproductions of some of these iconic images at a fraction of the price.
As with the musical scores from the films, Bond movie posters have been the result of some of the most talented artists of their era, they are now an evocative and retro style statement. Easyart.com has nearly 100 Bond images including prints on canvas, and also offers custom framing. Another great site is www.WorldGallery.co.uk which has a wide variety of movie posters and Bond artwork starting from just £5.99
