2) Some of Berkey's best-known work includes much of the original poster art for the Star Wars trilogy, the poster for the 1976 remake of King Kong and also the Old Elvis Stamp.
3) Berkey produced a large body of space fantasy artwork, producing utopian scenes of bubble-shaped, yacht-like spaceships. He has been described as one of the giants in the history of science fiction.
4) is distinctive painterly style has been evaluated as at once realistic, yet impressionistic and abstract, and his space craft designs as being distinctly elegant, yet clearly technological.

6) In 1975, George Lucas purchased several pieces of Berkey's arts. Berkey was then commissioned by Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox in 1976 to provide some of the first poster art for Star Wars.
