BÁV
organizes a poster auction for the second time – all of the posters are
artworks for films
. The auctioned objects belong to a Hungarian private collector. Posters are very popular internationally and a lot of people collect them, thus there is a very active auction market for them. They are starting to gain interest among the collectors and movie fans in Hungary, too. Although it’s pretty common in Western countries, we rarely see any film posters in Hungarian homes. Luckily, at this auction everyone can get the poster of their favorite movie or graphic artist for a reasonable price.
