An iconic, highly coveted piece of cinematic history: an original 1976 US "Style A" theatrical one-sheet movie poster for Martin Scorsese's psychological masterpiece, Taxi Driver. Starring Robert De Niro in his definitive, career-defining role as the alienated Vietnam War veteran Travis Bickle, alongside Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, and Harvey Keitel, Taxi Driver is widely regarded as one of the greatest American films ever made, winning the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and earning four Academy Award nominations.
This legendary poster features the brilliant, gritty pop-art illustration by renowned artist Guy Peellaert, capturing the haunting isolation of late-night New York City with Bickle standing sentinel beside his iconic yellow Checker taxicab. Sourced directly from the prestigious De Groote Collection, it has been professionally and archivally linen-backed by a master conservator. It features its official, authentic Christie’s auction house tracking label physically attached to the piece—providing an ironclad, permanent hallmark of luxury provenance.
This particular specimen has been professionally and archivally linen-backed by a master conservator. This premium process stabilizes the vintage paper, protects it against future aging, and beautifully flattens the original theatrical machine folds, rendering them nearly imperceptible to the eye. It is completely ready for high-end framing and stands as a foundational centerpiece for any elite collection of modern cinematic art or 20th-century design.
