Old and New Posters in Mumbai?

skinnylizard

Yo,

I need to do some redecorating and am getting rid of some of the art in my office.

i was wondering where i could pick up some cool posters and have them framed.

Also, i have been told of a place in Colaba where i could get old movie posters but no one has been able to pin point it there or anywhere else.

ideas would be much appreciated.

Hm. I'd usually pick up stuff like that from street vendors for a couple of Rupees, but may not be precisely what you're looking for, I mean it won't be high quality. You'll realize those big boards are hand-painted, it they still are.

Those posters are a hassle to get home in one piece btw. If you do want to go by those street vendors, they won't be hard to find -- except when you're desperately looking for them, of course.

ummm I saw a good collection with a man sitting near the McD opp. CST. He, of course had the usual stuff Macha mentioned but also some nice quality paintings kind of posters. If it doesn't meet your expectations he can at least guide you to some other place, am sure.

i was looking for something more classic than contemporary ( i mean, how cool would i be with say a Salman Khan in Partner poster)

amyl

naah! As I said he has the usual crappy things for there are customers for it but he also has other stuff. Check it out on that footpath if he has not shifted his place to somewhere else. I saw some good posters about the village life of Rajasthan and things like that. They were cool!


BTW there is one IMer, who I suppose is not regular but makes some incredible paintings. Check out his samples at www.sukart.com. I really liked the Kabaddi and Tractor one he has put on one of his his work-pages.

here's the information on the store on mutton street in bombay's chor bazaar area. it is called the mini market and was very easy to find. i might even have a business card somewhere which has the phone number on it. if there is interest i can try and hunt it down.

skinnylizard

machadinha

It's also known as Thieves' Bazar, and quite famous there.
