New York: American International Pictures [AIP], 1971. Vintage reference photograph from the American release of the 1969 Italian film, showing actor Pierre Clémenti holding a photograph of Britt Ekland.

From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Loosely based on the classic Athenian tragedy "Antigone," set in contemporary Milan and using the play to explore the protests of 1968, the Years of Lead, and the Italian countercultural movement.

10 x 7.5 inches. Very Good plus, with moderate glue residue on the verso.
