I'm strangely drawn to it, I'm actually a fan.

But I'd never guess it was LD's work mind.

I mean it's his composition, but its just a mock up with photoshopped elements, that I'm assuming he would render if approved.

Please appreciate and discuss. Thanks.
Back from holiday with great news, I am pleased to announce that the gallery mondographics has the honour to offer you in global exclusivity the latest poster created by Laurent Durieux for the mythical film of Audrey Hepburn "breakfast at Tiffany" ' s ".

This Poster is the result of collaboration between Laurent Durieux and Sean Hepburn Ferrer, the son of Audrey Hepburn and a long-time friend, whom I would like to thank for his trust.

For my part, I think this is one of Laurent's most successful posters.

All profits from the sale of this poster are collected for the benefit of the foundation (the European organization for rare diseases) of which SEAN HAS BEEN THE AMBASSADOR FOR 5 years.

This Poster, available at the gallery, is printed in 17 colour screen printing in the usual format 24 x36in, numbered 250 copies and signed by Laurent Durieux. Price is 900 € (+Port)

Time to separate the fans from the True Fans.

I really hope that charity likes prints. There are going to be a lot leftover.

Price is ridic.

Also, while I love the colors and the level of detail is insane, the overall composition is just kinda... uninspired?

Price feels absurd, but to play devil's advocate, if Mondo dropped this, would it reach 900 euros on the secondary in a couple of years? Perhaps, in which case you could argue that they're pricing to market and the artist/charity are getting paid instead of re-sellers. A timed release might have been a nicer way to make a stack of cash for the charity yet get the art into people's hands, but I suppose that doesn't really fit with this gallery's style/clientele and it would be a load of work for them too.

Print is easy on the eye.
