Piece: Original poster promoting 1966 Grateful Dead shows
Series Number: BG-41
Printing/Date: First (pre-concert), 1966
Performer(s): Grateful Dead, Big Mama Thornton, Tim Rose
Artist(s): Wes Wilson
Venue: Fillmore
Size (framed): 20”x 30”
*AW Condition Assessment: Fine Art/Museum Grade
Condition Notes: No easily visible flaws. Would expect a high CGC grade.
Framing Materials:
Frame: Black Aluminum
Matting: Custom Cut, Acid-Free Double Mat
Glazing: Tempered Glass (upgrade to Tru Vue Conservation Acrylic or Optium Museum Acrylic available)
Notes: Gallery August West is excited to present this original, first-printing poster promoting a string of December 1966 Grateful Dead shows at the Fillmore. Wes Wilson truly outdid himself with this one, creating one of the most legendary images of psychedelic poster art. Authentic first-printing BG-41s are hard to come by and certainly not cheap, but well worth the investment in our opinion. Also, this particular piece happens to be in excellent, collector grade condition. Please note the West Coast Lithograph Co., SF printing credit - indicative of a pre-concert, first-printing.
