"READ" poster
Baryshnikov for America's Libraries
Copyright 1984 American Library Association.
Produced by Marketing By Design.
You
are bidding on an official American Library Association (ALA Publishing) poster from their Celebrity READ campaign. Created by the ALA in 1985, each READ poster features a
famous person posing with their favorite book (or books). All
celebrities are chosen because of his/her popularity, appeal and
visibility to a general audience. The ALA tries to feature a range of
diverse talent who would be great spokespersons for reading to both
adults and children. If you've ever visited your local library (which
you hopefully have), you've probably seen a poster like this with an
actor, musician or other star persona spotlighted.
This particular poster features Soviet/American dancer, choreographer and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This was part of the first series in ALA's Celebrity READ posters, released in 1985 (the 1st set included Bette Midler, Bill Cosby, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Sting).
A
great back-to-school gift, for your child's room or college dorm...or,
celebrate the kids leaving the nest by turning their old room into your
new study/library, and hang this fantastic poster there!
CONDITION:
Because
of its age and because
it was once displayed at a library, this poster does have signs of
wear. Unfortunately, tape or other sticky used on the back cause some
damage to the front when it was rolled (across Baryshnikov's arms).
There is also evidence of tape removal at the corners, which have
bends/folds.

CONDITION:
I
would consider this poster excellent, suitable for framing. However,
because of its age it cannot be considered
"mint." It is a bit wavy from rolled storage, but I would imagine it
could be flattened, and should be no issue if framed. No evidence of
tape
removal or tack marks from being displayed, and the corners are all
still sharp.

This particular poster features Paul Newman stretched out on a pool table, reading Star Warriors by William Broad. Certainly, the pose/setting is an homage to Newman's classic poolhall films, The Hustler and its recent sequel The Color Of Money...but
I like to think of this as the classy version of Burt Reynolds' Cosmo
pic. This was part of the third series in ALA's Celebrity READ posters,
released in 1987 (the 3rd set included David Bowie and Diahann Carrol,

This particular poster features David Bowie in a "Roots" letterman jacket, reading The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The Idiot was also the title of Iggy Pop's
first solo album, which was written and recorded with Bowie). David's
poster was part of the third series of ALA's Celebrity READ posters,
released in 1987 (the 3rd set included Diahann Carrol and Paul Newman, along with The Thin White Duke).
This poster was re-issued by the ALA in 2016, due to popular demand after Bowie's passing, but THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FROM '87!

CONDITION:
I

However, because of its age and because it was once displayed at a

tape removal from hanging (at the corners, and between the letters "R"
and "E" in the word READ near the top, as well as at the bottom edge
below the heel of Bowie's foot), but the poster itself does not seem to
have faded much or at all. Very, very minimal wrinkling or other aging,
