A pinnacle acquisition for the serious cinephile or avant-garde art collector: an exceptionally rare original bilingual Belgian movie poster from the first 1958 theatrical release of Alfred Hitchcock’s psychological masterpiece, Vertigo. Starring James Stewart as the acrophobic detective Scottie Ferguson and Kim Novak in her dual, haunting role as Madeleine/Judy, Vertigo is widely recognized by film critics globally as one of the greatest motion pictures ever made.
This highly prized specimen boasts elite provenance, originating from the prestigious De Groote Collection. It comes preserved in a protective sleeve bearing its official, authentic Christie’s auction house sticker—an ironclad testament to its investment-grade quality and pedigree.
This striking piece of graphic history flawlessly marries Saul Bass’s iconic, avant-century hypnotic spiral eye motif with intense, atmospheric portraits of the lead actors and a falling silhouette. Printed specifically for bilingual Belgian audiences, it bears both the French title (Sueur Froide) and the Dutch title (Zij Die Tweemaal Leefde).
Adding immense historical charm and ironclad theatrical provenance, the top white header features an original, authentic stamped advertisement for the "Nouvel Acropole" cinema on Rue de Namur in Brussels, complete with vintage phone numbers and showtimes. True first-release 1958 artifacts for Vertigo are extraordinarily scarce, making this a spectacular investment-grade focal point for high-end interiors.
