Condition Notes: Condition reflects use, with creases and areas of cracking along bottom (near cross). Moderate water staining in bottom right. Color remains strong and the piece pops sharply when framed.

  • Frame: Black Aluminum

Notes: Gallery August West is excited to present this striking, original 1967 Pandora Productions blacklight poster featuring Ron “Pigpen” McKernan in vivid Day-Glo color. Rendered in classic psychedelic fashion, the image explodes with saturated magenta, orange, and green tones designed to fluoresce dramatically under blacklight. Pigpen’s iconic likeness dominates the composition, framed by flowing hair, bold typography, and high-contrast color fields emblematic of San Francisco in the 1960s. A very rare piece that’s hard to come by.
