“The Bicycle Thief” by Xul1349

To help celebrate the 65th anniversary of the film’s debut, FAMP Art has teamed up with Corinth Films to release a set of prints for the 1949 Italian classic Ladri di biciclette, or, more commonly known as The Bicycle Thief (Bicycle Thieves).

To introduce Vittorio De Sica’s Italian masterpiece to the screen printing community, FAMP Art sought out help from Xul1349, a Romania-based artist with heavy gothic influences, to tackle the challenge of bringing this Academy Award winning foreign language film to life.

There will be two versions of the print available, both of which measure 24”x18” and include metallic ink on the bicycle and the film title. The regular version will have a limited run of 80 and cost $40; the variant will be more limited with a run of 45 and cost $55. On sale Monday, November 24th sometime between 1 – 2pm Eastern (10 – 11am PST) HERE.
