Well, you can feel the same feeling today when you have the opportunity to own a signed poster by Harold Cleworth, the world-renowned “painter laureate of the car”. A Cleworth signed poster definitely isn’t your typical poster; this isn’t a poster of your favorite football team or singer. A Cleworth signed poster is true art, from the painter whose work graces the collections of such car enthusiasts as Jay Leno, Nicolas Cage, John Schneider and John DeLorean. A Cleworth signed poster is an accurate recreation of the amazing work of one of the most respected and best known automotive artists in the world.

Born in England, Harold Cleworth grew up as an artist in the industrial area of northern England, drawing and painting heavy machinery. After graduating from the famous Manchester College of Art, he worked for Decca Records; his artwork graced the covers of such newcomers as the Rolling Stones, The Who and others.

After deciding to pursue a career painting his first love, automobiles, Cleworth moved to San Francisco. After an initial struggle for recognition when Cleworth traded his originals for rent, he received a commission from San Francisco car dealer Richard Rubin for three pieces, one of which would be his now famous Mercedes Gullwing with its signature gull wing doors wide open. From this original opportunity, Cleworth auto art has become a prized possession.

Of course, works from a talented artist like Cleworth are in great demand. There are typically only six or seven Cleworth originals produced each year, which limits the number of new items available. With the prices of Cleworth auto art climbing, a signed poster by Harold Cleworth can be considered a prize investment piece as well.

Because of his world-wide fame, Cleworth originals are rarely on the open market and when sold, garner incredible sums of money. It is a similar situation with a Harold Cleworth signed poster. Many of Harold Cleworth limited edition prints have increased by 800% or more since their introduction.

Because of this, it is possible for someone who loves the beauty of automobiles to enter the world art collecting with investment potential with a Cleworth signed poster. Whether you love Corvettes or you have an affection for the famous Mercedes Gullwing, the opportunity awaits you to own a Cleworth signed poster
