Offered directly from Hallmark Press, Inc., the original publisher of the edition, is an exceptionally rare version of Michael Godard’s “Ollie Capone,” a limited-edition giclée on canvas featuring Godard’s iconic olive gangster.
This example is from the G Edition and is especially desirable because it was embellished like the Artist Proofs and personally autographed by Pamela Anderson.
Pamela Anderson personally signed only approximately 30 examples from this edition, making these autographed pieces a particularly scarce variation of Ollie Capone.
Her large silver autograph is prominently displayed across the upper black portion of the canvas, becoming an important part of the overall presentation.
The artwork is also hand-signed by Michael Godard.
Ollie Capone features Godard’s famous olive gangster in a wonderfully humorous mob-inspired scene.
Dressed in a pinstripe suit and fedora, cigar in hand, Ollie stands confidently amid piles of cash alongside a glamorous strawberry showgirl. Around them are wooden vodka crates, martini glasses, spilled drinks, and swirling cigar smoke.
The dramatic black background makes the brilliant reds and greens jump from the canvas, while the scattered money and gangster imagery give the piece Godard’s unmistakable combination of pop surrealism, satire, humor and storytelling.
Ollie Capone is the same gangster character featured in Godard’s celebrated “Gangster Chopper,” making this an especially appealing companion piece for collectors of the Gangster series.
This is not simply a standard example from the edition.
The canvas was specially embellished like the Artist Proofs, adding hand-finished detail and visual dimension to the artwork.
Combined with the G Edition designation and Pamela Anderson’s autograph, this creates an unusually collectible version of the image.
This example has been carefully preserved by Hallmark Press and remains in pristine, like-new condition.
The canvas is stretched on 1.5″ gallery-wrapped stretcher bars, so it can be displayed as-is or custom framed.
Perhaps most importantly, this artwork is being offered directly from Hallmark Press, Inc., the original publisher of the edition.
It includes its original Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and comes with direct publisher provenance.
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a particularly scarce variation of Ollie Capone: G Edition, AP-style embellishment, personally signed by Pamela Anderson, pristine in its original wrapper, and coming directly from Hallmark Press, Inc., the original publisher.
For Godard collectors, approximately 30 Pamela Anderson-signed examples out of the entire edition make this one a little harder for even Ollie Capone to get his hands on.
