July 2011:

I have always thought there would be a great market for reproduction posters at realistic and reasonable prices that spanned the whole career of someone who, I would say, had the female face of the 20th-century, Marlene Dietrich. With the exception of Greta Garbo, who could strike the pose with such striking effect as Dietrich?...more

MARLENE DIETRICH Poster

ICON & ICONOGRAPHY

...Through the lens her face became an eternal work of art as memorable as any face Leonardo or Vermeer painted. Hitherto a plethora of her film posters haven't been available and the ones that were on the market were at silly prices. Until now.

I've found a company called Pop Culture based in America who have the biggest selection of Marlene ietrich posters that I have ever seen. Span her whole career and are reproduction posters from film releases all over the world.

But even better than that are the prices ranging (as of July 2011) from around $3 - $20 per poster. $3! What does that buy you these days?

They sell through Amazon in the US and I have created a page for each poster (like this one) mainly to show the bigger scans on a page as they do look beautiful. Plus I wanted to show them against a black background as I think they look far more striking (the artist and architect Hundertwasser always advocated having his work shown against a black background). Some of the best shots of Marlene, in my opinion, which will live forever, are those against a moody black background. Marlene's striking beauty was really made for the starkness of black and white. Each page can hold an even bigger scan of the poster so if you have any bigger of a particular poster just e-mail me it here and I'll place it on the page. I also want to use these pages as a kind of archive for Marlene Dietrich posters from her whole career and from around the world; even if the posters aren't for sale it would be good to have a place where they can be viewed. I can't do this without your help so if you want to share your scans then you know what to do.

You can also see Pop Culture's Pop's Marlene Dietrich index page by clicking here.

I have put a link on each page to the particular poster at the bottom of each page so it is simple to order or find out more details.

Hope you enjoy the selection!
