IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

Art Print (24" x 36"); 14/275
Very Fine+ Rolled; Artwork by Greg Ruth
Mondo, 2021

Celebrated AMP artist Greg Ruth, reflecting his enamorement with the film, has created the strikingly detailed artwork of Cheung and Leung. He also completed this poster (and the cover for the North American debut of the film's soundtrack and score, also released by Mondo). Ruth's work comes with approval from Kar-Wai Wong himself and will surely please any fan of the director's sumptuously romantic film. This near-mint poster has been hand numbered 14/275 in the lower right.

There is a slight crease in the bottom left corner.
