The gallery offers works from a wide range of artists such as
Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol through to Damien Hirst, Banksy and Scott Campbell.
For Bond fans, legendary poster artist Robert E McGinnis has recreated his
depiction of Roger Moore from the Live And Let Die artwork in
two strictly Limited Edition prints; one with diamond dust and one without.
Mount Street Galleries has also published works by new Bond artist, James Hart Dyke.
Hart Dyke initially caught the eye of Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson of EON Productions
through his now iconic drawings and paintings "A Year with MI6"
which offered an unprecedented insight into the lives of Britain's secret agents.
This began a collaboration that resulted in
"Everything or Nothing - 50 Years of James Bond",
an artwork to mark the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond films.
From this, four limited edition prints were also commissioned based on the
official poster of the documentary film
"Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007"
that was released in the UK on October 5th - Global James Bond Day.
The image celebrates the six actors that have played Bond -
Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
Hart Dyke sought inspiration from, and was keen to reinterpret,
the classic Bond movie posters of the 1960's and 1970's
(by such celebrated illustrators as Robert McGinnis and Frank McCarthy)
and in particular the iconic "Dr No" poster of 1962
which is referenced in the yellow background of the main edition print.
