This is beautiful artwork but very sadly is well out of the price range for most of us. (Yep, thats a 60 thousand dollar starting price!)
Again I have posted the link to the auction house website where you can 'hover' over the art to magnify it...well worth doing!
Even better, if you are local to the auction house you could go and see it before the sale.
Original artwork for the Captain EO attraction poster at Disneyland - This is the original artwork for The Captain EO attraction poster at Disneyland. Based on the 3-D sci-fi film starring Michael Jackson, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola (who came up with the name of “Captain EO” from the Greek work “Eos,” meaning goddess of dawn), and executive producer George Lucas, the film was shown at Disney theme parks from 1986 through the 1990s. The attraction returned to Disney Parks in 2010 as a tribute after Jackson’s death. Accomplished in airbrush, pastel and colored pencil on board, the artwork measures approx. 21 ½ in. x 31 ½ in. Beautifully matted and framed for display with overall dimensions 33 ½ in. x 43 ½ in.. The artwork features a head and shoulders portrait of Michael Jackson with his sidekick Fuzzball perched on his shoulder as well as Jackson’s full body portrait with other characters from the film. This poster was not only used for all promotional materials for the ride but also used in all publicity for the film as well. No original artwork for any attraction poster has ever been publically auctioned or available for public sale. An incredible artifact from this extremely popular attraction. Auction Location:
