Mike Kaplan was a publicity executive at MGM's home office in New York, and after meeting Kubrick at the New York premiere, where he proposed re-positioning the film, he became 2001's marketing strategist, culminating in its re-launch as The Ultimate Trip in 1970. As part of his duties, he would select potential photographic images for publicity and media outlets from the contact sheets. For 2001, Kubrick had to approve what was chosen. Some appeared in various media, whilst others were approved but never seen until now.

Exceptionally rare. No records of these photographs have surfaced before.

Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece is still considered one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time.
