Believe it or not, it seems that Leonard's shooting with U2 this May was announced by club posters... I found this at eBay:
The item is a concert poster for a special performance by Leonard Cohen with U2. The performance was for a documentary about the legendary Canadian songwriter/poet Leonard Cohen.
U2 and Bono in particular have been big fans of Mr. Cohen's work . Bono did a cover of Cohen's Hallelujah on a '95 tribute album. U2 paid Cohen the ultimate respect by playing with him for this performance.
The poster was made by artist Viking 17 to commemorate this event. It is one of a limited edition of 250. #3 of 250. It comes with a certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
The poster is in Mint condition. Of all the U2 concert posters availible, this may the greatest potenial for appreciation due to the rare nature of the event.
To see a higher resolution picture go to http://derrotekonig.bravehost.com/leona ... thmark.jpg and click on the image. Remember click on the image and it will enlarge. I loaded a huge picturefile and you should be able to see the item in great detail.
I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the image on this print. Up real close it seems a bit blocky and indistinct(not sharp). Note, this is common with some posters. You be the judge though, follow the link above and look for yourself, I loaded huge file and you should see the item in great detail. I don’t see this impacting the resale value though, since this is one of a limited run of only 250. It is relatively rare and that counts for a lot.
The size of the poster is approximately 13 x 19(Super B), media- 27lbs Paper- NOT CARDSTOCK, matte- Not Glossy. NOTE this is NOT a silkscreen. It is just a PRINT.
