Later today, Bottleneck Gallery celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back with a very special release by artist Matt Ferguson! As BNG explained, “Matt Ferguson’s officially licensed image for the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back has floored Star Wars fans since its unveiling earlier in May. Designed as an official one sheet movie poster for the 40th anniversary of our personal favorite Star Wars film, Matt’s image is symmetrical Star Wars bliss, taking elements from his previous Star Wars prints in order to create a truly modern take on a classic film. Using some of the main color palettes throughout the film, Matt’s image features the continuously looming threat of Darth Vader, as well as a centerpiece featuring Luke’s climactic clash!”
Ferguson’s movie poster will be available as a Timed Edition release from today, Wednesday, June 17th, at 12pm EDT through Sunday, June 21st, at 11:59pm EDT on BottleneckGallery.com. The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary by Matt Ferguson is a 24”x36” hand numbered Star Wars screen print.
The Regular Timed Edition and the Japanese Variant Timed Edition will retail for $65 each or $125 as a set. The Limited Edition Variant and Limited Edition Japanese Variant feature metallic and neon inks and are each limited to 475 pieces and retail for $85.
