E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (1982), transparency, US

Artist: Drew Struzan (b.1947)

Unframed: 10 x 8 in. (25 x 20 cm)

Framed: 16 3/8 x 14 1/4 x 1 3/4 in. (41.5 x 36.2 x 4.4 cm)

This transparency was designed to be of a very high quality, as it was sent to high-end magazines and newspapers that required a colour image, as opposed to the regular black and white production stills. A tiny quantity of these were produced compared to the black and white variants.

The bespoke LED light box that has been made for this piece is suitable for UK and US electrical supplies, and has a separate lead for each country.

Steven Spielberg's E.T. has won the hearts of so many people since its release in 1982. At the time it was the highest grossing film, surpassing Star Wars (1977).
