This is only the second example of this rare poster to appear in our auction with CGC grading! The Woodstock Music and Arts Fair is easily the most famous musical/cultural event of the 1960’s. The festival was originally intended to be held in Wallkill New York. Permits however were denied and the festival promoters had to find a new location just a month prior to the festival. The festival was then moved to Bethel New York. The rest is history.
The original pre-concert first printing poster being offered here was designed for the original site by Fillmore East poster artist David Byrd. It is much harder to track down than the other popular woodstock fest posters. Beat-up toned out and creased non-CGC examples have realized as much as $700 in our past auctions. This piece is in a different world by comparison. It received a 9.2 super clean & pinhole free grade by CGC and it's only in a CGC "restored" holder because it was slightly trimmed. There is no restoration on this piece. A beautiful find!
