Opinions on original "Moscow on the Hudson" artwork

[VinnyH]

I'm starting to look at a variety of collections and got this yesterday. It's the original artwork for the movie poster and advertising for "Moscow on the Hudson". The heads are each cutouts from other images and the rest of the board is sketched. It is approx. 16" X 20".

I'd appreciate anyone's opinion and maybe a ballpark price. It may end up on ebay eventually.

Thanks in advance,
Vinny :)!

Can only do 1 image per post on my ipad

I liked that movie growing up and something about the image seemed 'off' so I did some research.. a quick search shows that the American version has him holding a flag and those to each side doing a thumbs up. There is also a french version that depicts the fries/hamburger portion.

However... I might not go the Ebay route. Appears that artwork was part of a copyright lawsuit.

Thanks for doing the research I haven't gotten around to yet. I appreciate the info. Not sure what ebay might do if I post it but, if I do, I'll make the title and description as innocent sounding as I can.
Best Always,
Vinny :)!

Ya.. "Original Artwork in Copyright Infringement Lawsuit" wouldn't be the best way to go. :D

You never know, that might attract people to the piece :p

It is a dilemma of sorts. I'll try not to upset eBay somehow.

Thanks guys,
