Please join the Hamptons International Film Festival in celebrating 20 years with its retrospective of artist posters at the Peter Marcelle Gallery, 2411 Main Street in Bridgehampton, NY.

Opening reception Saturday,
September 29, 2012
5pm

Exhibit will be available for viewing
Saturday, September 29 through Sunday, October 8, 2012

Over the past two decades the Festival has commissioned an artist, most often an artist with a local connection, to design its annual promotional poster. These posters have showcased the conventions and clichés of the film poster form, using the interplay between art and film to extraordinary effect.

Posters on display include works by artists such as Cindy Sherman, Donald Sultan, Julian Schnabel, Barbara Kruger, Dan Rizzie, Jim Gingerich, David Salle and Billy Sullivan.

The tradition continues with this year’s poster design, incorporating the work of painter Cecily Brown. Take a look here at HIFF’s 2012 poster art.
