Description

Ultra-rare, mesmerizing color portrait of Hollywood's immortal rebel

Incredibly scarce and fantastic color vintage 8.25 x 10.25 magazine photo of Dean in a dark blue sweater, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, "To Mary, with best wishes, James Dean." Nicely suede-matted and framed with a small nameplate to an overall size of 17.5 x 20.5. In fine condition, with a couple of surface scratches to Dean's sweater. Dean is notably scarce in all forms, especially signed photos, with this example being the lone signed color photo we have ever offered. An absolute Hollywood rarity.

Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services.
