Joseph Signature Arts’ latest canvas installations have found a permanent home inside a $2.2M penthouse at The Orpheum Lofts, Downtown Phoenix — a building immortalized in cinema history.
From this rooftop, Alfred Hitchcock filmed the opening sequence of Psycho (1960) — a landmark in horror cinema and arguably one of the most influential films ever made. The camera panned the mid-century Phoenix skyline before zooming into a clandestine hotel window scene, setting the tone for a movie that redefined American film standards of violence, sexuality, and suspense.
Today, the same rooftop and skyline that once framed Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins now frame the Saucerman ethos and Joseph Signature Arts’ contemporary fine art.
