This lot to be sold on day 1, Wednesday, October 3 (Lots 1-948)
Beginning in the early 1980s with the availability of VCRs, TVs, and generators, a mobile movie industry boomed in Ghana. Entrepreneurs commissioned local artists to paint eye-catching and colorful advertising for the films. This artistic movement proliferated until the early 1990s when these unique and creative works were replaced by mass produced printed posters.
