Ben Marks on the Retro-Futuristic World of Laurent Durieux.
This year, 2013, has gotten off to an equally rousing start, beginning with the January release of a poster for Steven Spielberg's 1975 thriller "Jaws." Reportedly, the director himself liked Durieux's design so much, he ordered 25 copies to give as gifts to his closest friends. Thanks to the buzz that followed Durieux's "Jaws" (prices for prints from the original edition of 525, which cost $60 each, are now hovering around $200), anticipation is building among collectors, who are hoping a new Durieux will be included in Mondo's annual Oscars drop during the Academy Awards broadcast on February 24, 2013.
