Notes: Gallery August West is excited to present this original first-printing BG-55 by Wes Wilson. Few posters from the Fillmore era balance elegance and provocation as confidently as BG-55. Rendered in striking black line against a saturated golden field, the composition feels both ancient and unmistakably 1967. The elongated female figure entwined with a serpent reads like a modern reinterpretation of myth — sensual, mysterious, and slightly dangerous — while the densely packed, undulating typography beside her pushes the limits of legibility in the way only Wes Wilson can.
