APOCALYPSE NOW (variant) by Laurent Durieux
Limited edition screen print for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 epic war masterpiece Apocalypse Now, created by artist Laurent Durieux. This officially licensed movie poster is a collectible art print produced using traditional silkscreen printing techniques.
Released as part of Mondo Gallery's landmark "The Art of Laurent Durieux Part Two" solo exhibition, this signed variant edition — limited to just 175 hand-numbered copies — carries extraordinary provenance: Coppola himself personally requested Durieux for the project and waited years for him to be available.
"Three years ago, I was contacted by Francis Ford Coppola's collaborator to ask me if I would be interested in designing/creating the visual for a steel box edition of the film. I had to turn down the offer as my schedule wasn't allowing me to do it and told them that they probably would have to wait a couple of years before I could get to it. I was expecting them to tell me, 'Well, okay, we'll find someone else who could do it for us quicker', but to my surprise, they said 'Mr. Coppola will wait.' Apparently, Francis didn't want anyone else but me to tackle his masterpiece of a film. What an honor!" — Laurent Durieux
