Anthony Palliser's Delacroix inspired 'Revolution Poster' is still smoking after quarter of a century and was rereleased in a limited printing to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the bar in October 2015. Upon its first grand entrance in 1990 it was instantly declared to be ‘unsuitable’ in certain quarters, and the much loved Wine Spectator declined to carry this edition from Willi’s Bottle Art. Impressed as he may well have been by the "conversation" displayed by Lady Liberty (or Sabine as she was otherwise known) Marvin Shankin, (avec cigare), supported this landmark PC decision. The result was that the Palliser became an ‘under the counter’ unobtainable edition & was (quite naturally) to become one of the most talked about posters in the Willi’s Bottle Art collection. Anthony Palliser was born in 1949 of an English father and a Belgian mother. He studied at Downside school and graduated from New College Oxford. In 1967 he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. In 1970 he settled in Paris where he still lives and works. From 1995 to 1997 he taught as visiting professor at the New York School of Visual Arts in Savannah, Georgia. He remains a frequent visitor to Savannah and Charleston, SC. where the unique landscapes of the low-country remain a constant source of inspiration. He is an accomplished and sought after portraitist, having immortalised Helena Bonham Carter, Charlotte Rampling, Kristen Scott Thomas and Terence Rigby to name but a few.
