The Vader project

The premise of The Vader Project is simple -- simply awesome, that is.

One hundred artists and designers rethink the iconic black helmet that defined the Star Ward character Darth Vader.

What started as a simple idea in 2005 became a record-setting exhibition in 2009. Now for the first time, these unique pieces of art will be available to the public in an auction.


Each artist customized a 1:1 scale authentic prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet featured in the Star Wars films.

Since its premiere in 2007, The Vader Project has toured the world. The collection launched in May 2007 at the Star Wars Celebration IV event in Los Angeles, and travelled internationally to Europe in July 2007 and Japan in July 2008. Most recently The Vader Project was on display from February 13 - May 3, 2009 at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
