Last year, Mondo released arguably one of the greatest movie posters ever – Apocalypse Now by artist Bob Peak. Luckily for cinephiles and collectors alike, that wasn’t Mr. Peak’s only work completed for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 war epic. He also created a different movie poster for the film’s release in Germany. So over the last year or so, Mondo has been working closely with American Zoetrope and Matthew Peak on producing a screen print of Peak’s original German one sheet artwork! As with the American one sheet art Mondo released last April, Jason Edmiston and Jon Smith handled the print separations - breaking the artwork down into 9 colors - and Shane Mahn handled the type layout.
Fun fact: Bob Peak’s signature is backwards on the artwork. Mondo asked Matthew if they should correct that for the screen printed version and he said “No”, and that his dad would want people to know his preferred orientation of the work. We were happy to oblige.
Apocalypse Now German One Sheet Movie Poster by Bob Peak is a 24”x36” hand numbered screen print. Limited to 425 pieces, it will go on sale at 11am CT today, Thursday, January 13th, at MondoShop.com via The Drop for $100.
