It might not be high art, but
Martin Elliott's Tennis Girl poster from 1976 is probably one of the most famous posters in history. And it's back in 2007 as a limited edition canvas print. Controversial at the time, it wasn't a genuine tennis shot (as you might have guessed), but a recreation by the artist, using some borrowed equipment and featuring his then girlfriend. It sold in the thousands at Athena, before drifting away into the world of nostalgia and indeed, into a high price bracket on eBay.
The limited edition canvas prints, sized 60 x 80cm, will be numbered and signed by Martin Elliott and will be individually boxed and wrapped with a numbered certificate. There will be a total of 1,850 for sale across the world. The price? Significantly more than the original at £300.
