Got an invite last week to attend a one night exhibition over at Mercury Project. There’s a group called “Deadly Prey” out of Chicago that obtains movie posters out of Ghana, puts them on display and sell them to art collectors.
I learned about these a few years ago while visiting some local antique shops. Much to my surprise the posters on display last week were legitimately great and in some cases they were priced to move. Most of the posters fetched around 1k dollars. While a number of them amused me I didn’t exactly see one that I wanted to eagerly have on display in my home. Framing a thing that big would also be expensive…. I went in however ready to buy something if I ran across something amazing.
