NEW YORK.-This fall, Posteritati remembers the works of two masters of cinema with a special movie poster exhibit. The exhibit will run from October 2, 2007 through January 31, 2008 and feature original movie posters from the films of Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni. A selection of posters of 35 arthouse classics from 13 different countries, spanning half a century, from early rarities such as Bergman's Sawdust and Tinsel (1953) and Antonioni's The Vanquished (1954), through to Bergman's searing swan song, Saraband (2005) and Eros (2004), the three part film to which Antonioni contributed Il filo pericoloso delle cose. On exhibit will be the original Swedish posters for Bergman's Persona (1966), with its iconic filmstrip design, and Fanny and Alexander (1982), as well as rarely seen images from some of the directors' most popular works; a powerful Czech poster for Bergman's Persona (1966) designed by N�›meček & Oseck�, which shows Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson, embracing, carved into a textured stone surface; a Belgian poster for Antonioni's Blow-Up (1966) with a wild psychedelic illustration by Belgian painter and poster artist, Robert Detheux; a Czech poster for the same film with a baffling photo-montage design by Milan Grygar, which shows an image of David Hemmings and a nude Jane Birkin repeated four times, juxtaposed with a cartoon hand and stadium seating chart.� Other films represented in the exhibit are Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), Le Amiche (1955), Il Grido (1957), The Seventh Seal (1957), Wild Strawberries (1957), The Magician (1958), The Virgin Spring (1960), L'avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), Through a Glass Darkly (1961), L'eclisse (1962), The Silence (1963), Red Desert (1964), Zabriskie Point (1970), The Passenger (1975), Autumn Sonata (1978), and From the Life of the Marionettes (1980).
