An original Tom Jung STAR WARS painting used as movie poster sold for $3,875,000 at the Heritage

Tom Jung's original painting for the Star Wars half sheet poster led the RBH list of top sales for the week. The Heritage catalog notes said the artwork has never been publicly offered and holds a position as one of the most significant Star Wars pieces ever to come to auction. In addition to its usage on the half sheet, this art was also featured on the front cover of the film's original theatrical program, the 24-sheet billboard, and in numerous magazine and newspaper advertisements throughout May and June 1977. The notes did not give the size of the original painting.
