An extraordinary, highly collectible original 1980 US "Style B" theatrical one-sheet movie poster for Martin Scorsese's biographical cinematic masterpiece, Raging Bull. Widely acclaimed as one of the greatest American films ever made, the movie earned Robert De Niro an Academy Award for Best Actor for his ferocious, transcendent portrayal of the troubled middleweight boxing champion Jake LaMotta.
This exceptional collector's item boasts elite provenance, originating from the prestigious De Groote Collection. It is safely preserved in a protective sleeve bearing its official, authentic Christie’s auction house tracking sticker—a coveted hallmark of luxury pedigree and investment-grade quality.
This specific "Style B" variant features the legendary, definitive artwork by acclaimed Japanese illustrator Kunio Hagio. Hagio’s intense, hyper-realistic portrait captures a bruised, sweat-glistening De Niro staring directly into the viewer's soul, framed by bold, minimalist red typography. Celebrated by design critics and cinephiles alike, this graphic composition perfectly distills the raw psychological depth, grit, and emotional violence of the film. Authentic first-release 1980 printings featuring Hagio's signature illustration are increasingly scarce and serve as an undeniable anchor piece for premier collections of modern art, graphic design, and Hollywood history.
