ICON & ICONOGRAPHY

I've found a company called Pop Culture based in America who have the biggest selection of Joan Collins posters that I have ever seen. Span her whole career and are reproduction posters from film releases all over the world. When you browse through them you remember (well, I did) that her face is the face of so many iconic moments in 20th-century cinema & TV: The Stud, The Bitch (2 films which have now passed into the iconography of late 1970s British Cinema), Dynasty...the list goes on and on.

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.co.uk and I have created a page for each poster 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). 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 Joan Collins 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 Joan Collins Posters 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 vast selection!
