Star Wars / Guerre Stellari

• 1977, Italian
  
• Original concept artwork, tempera on artboard
• Artist: Michelangelo Papuzza (dates unknown)
• 10 1/2 x 19 3/4 in. (26.5 x 50 cm) (Unframed)

• 16 x 25 1/4 (40.7 x 64.1 cm) (Framed)

• This original concept artwork by Michelangelo Papuzza was designed for the Italian poster campaign, but it was not used on any of the posters. However, it was used on the cover for the book/essay 'Star Wars' by George Lucas and Alan Dean Foster published by Club Degli Editori in 1978.  On the back there are some indications in pencil from the art director to Papuzza regarding the elements of the drawing to be modified for the definitive version, together with text saying 'campaign wide B/2'. These can be seen through the perspex window on the back of the frame. This is an important and exceptional rare piece of original Star Wars artwork. Original artworks on this hugely popular title hardly ever surface.
