The Museum of UnCut Funk Collection

I started collecting movie posters from Blaxploitation and all Black films from the

1970‘s because I love these films. I also love the illustrated artwork that was

used to create these posters. Poster illustration has become a lost art form, as

today’s posters utilize photography. The uniqueness of the illustrations is what

makes these posters highly collectible and increasingly more valuable. The

poster images, similar to the story lines of the films themselves, reflect what

was happening in the Black community at the time. So they are as historically

important as they are beautiful.

The Museum of UnCut Funk Collection consists of over 700 Blaxploitation

movie posters from the around the world. Below is a small sampling of the

original movie posters that are a part of the collection. I have selected a range

of posters that show how Blacks were portrayed one way via this art form in the

U.S. and differently in European, Middle Eastern and Asian countries. For more

specifics on Blaxploitation posters from East Germany, France, Italy, Japan

and Poland click on the links. I will add more posters from the collection in the

near future.
