The aesthetic appeal of movie posters has elevated their status and transformed
them into a unique form of art. Poster art speaks out and conveys a message
through the artist’s creative talent and inspiration. As unique pieces of decor,
they create a particular mood, define the ambience of the room, and reflect the
collector’s personality. They now play a paramount and significant role in mod-
ern Interior Design worldwide.....from stately mansions to modern urban condos.
Mexican cinema art is generally far superior to American theatre graphics of the
same time period.

Institute conservationists first meticulously prepare each poster for preservation
by acid neutralization and “linen backing”. Skilled artists touch up fold lines and
imperfections, if needed, using special paper fillers and pigments. The poster is
then photographed using accurate, high resolution, high dynamic range imaging.
The digital file may then be color matched while preserving the faded elegance
and nostalgic beauty of the original poster. The Institute maintains these original
posters and digital files as a timeless treasure for future generations.

Rare movie posters have skyrocketed in value making display of the original
unwise. The Institute’s acclaimed Giclée process creates rare fine art with
deeply saturated colors in the tradition of original stone lithography. Archival
inks and substrates of museum specification are durable and fade resistant with
a display life of between 125 and 175 years under normal indoor environmental
conditions. These heirlooms may be enjoyed for generations and you will be
remembered by your heirs as someone who knew the value of fine quality.
Archival Giclées are recognized by dozens of museums and art galleries
worldwide (such as The Metropolitan Museum , The Guggenheim, the Smithsonian
Institution Libraries, and the National Museum of Mexico, among others) and
they have mounted exhibitions or have purchased Giclées for their permanent
collections.

The artwork cannot be divorced from the time of its creation as it is
created from the soil of Mexico itself. The hopes, dreams, fears, sorrows,
social conditions, politics, dress, family values, customs, and heroes of
the Mexican people, living not only in Mexico but the United States as
well, are revealed in this important collection. Mexico’s rich cultural heri-
tage is immortalized in this collection of art and it will always be relevant
as other trendy themes come and go. You will easily discover artwork
that speaks intimately to you.
