Steve McQueen Photo Exhibition & Book Signing
aaamusic | On 20, Oct 2010
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Steve McQueen’s death on November 7th and the book release of Steve McQueen: A Tribute to the King of Cool, Barbara McQueen and Steve McQueens official biographer, Marshall Terrill, will attend a very special exhibition and book signing between 6pm and 9pm at Londons Movie Poster Art Gallery on November 4th. Both Barbara and Marshall will be available for interview in London on Wednesday November 3rd and Thursday November 4th.
The photo exhibition will include a selection of Barbara McQueens personal images of Steve McQueen, along with a large selection of vintage original McQueen film posters and stills, including an extremely rare 6ft U.S Original film poster for the McQueen classic Bullitt, and the highly collectable original poster for The Great Escape. Also on display will be rarely seen original stills and photographs from McQueens greatest film roles, including Papillon, Thomas Crown Affair and The Cincinnati Kid.
An exciting edition to the evening will be an original Triumph Bonneville, supplied to Johnson Motors in Pasadena, California. The Triumph marque has a storied connection with McQueen, especially through his participation in the 1964 ISTD as a member of the American team.
The book, Steve McQueen: A Tribute to the King of Cool, tells the actors story through the eyes of those who knew him best: family, friends, co-stars, business associates, acquaintances and adoring fans from around the globe. Each passage brings a different view to the man and legend, presenting him in an unsurpassed 360-degree perspective.
