Coogan’s Bluff: Rare Unseen Artwork


Coogan’s Bluff: Rare Unseen Artwork
I’m always surprised by the amount of rare and unseen artwork that continuously appears to surface. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, I’m contacted by eagle-eyed fans who have spotted various lost treasures. In this case I have to thank my good friend Davy Triumph for finding these beauties. 
Below are some resent concept designs that surfaced for Don Siegel’s classic crime thriller Coogan’s Bluff (1968). The designs were made by Studio Favalli of Italy. 
33 x 18 cm tempera on thin cardboard
51,5 x 27 cm tempera and photographic film on cardboard
3 preliminary artworks, 16,5 x 23 cm each, pencil on paper
Below: a finished example of the final Italian poster used for the film’s release. 
Below: Another unseen design, this one by Rodolfo Valcarenghi, 38 x 54 cm, tempera on thin cardboard
