Val Kilmer Created and Signed Wonderland Collage Artwork

Description: One of a kind art collage created by Val Kilmer during his time working on the film Wonderland. From the original article in ArtNet: “Alert Los Angeles gallery-goers gota very special preview of the hot fall film Wonderland, in which Val Kilmer stars as notorious porn star John Holmes, thanks to a one-week exhibition of photo-collages at the Off Main Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, Aug. 24-Sept. 1, 2003. Also starring Lisa Kudrow, Christina Applegate, Carrie Fisher, Dylan McDermott and Eric Bogosian, the film depicts Rashomon-style the1981 quadruple "Wonderland Murders" in Los Angeles, for which Holmes and drug kingpin Eddie Nash stood trial (neither were convicted). Kilmer collaborated with photographer Ali Alborzi, who took photographs on the Wonderland set between takes, to make about 400 original collages that include original photos as well as ephemera from both actors and the film prop department. The collages are for sale at prices ranging from $1,000 to $10,000,depending on size. According to Off Main Gallery director Laurie Frank, the exhibition is slated to travel to London, Moscow and Toronto. The film is set to be released on Oct. 3.”This piece, #5139 in the collection, was originally offered for $3,000. It features Val Kilmer’s actual handwriting in gold on the front of his photograph. This handwriting is a narrative of Val’s thoughts and feelings and process during the filming. “In this scene John sells Dawn to his drug dealer on his 19th birthday…” There is a separate photograph of John Holmes in the collage. The overall measurements are 21” x 28”. It is 1 1/2”deep so it is not a flat frame. As with all of the pieces in this series, Val took separate pieces from Wonderland and created unique pieces of artwork by adding paint, handwritten notes and creating a one-of-a-kind custom piece. This was a personal gift from Val and can be easily authenticated.
