This poster is signed in pencil by the artist the late great Wes Wilson!

 

We are extremely proud to feature this lot. Hunted profusely by collectors around the world the BG-29 Original First Printings were produced in both color & black/white versions. The “Sound” was Bill Graham’s own description of what was going on both musically and socially in San Francisco in October of 1966. Artist Wes Wilson used Bill's words as the inspiration for this classic Fillmore poster. The late great Wes Wilson's recent passing has spurred a massive interest in anything related to his artwork a trend that's still in the earliest of stages.

 

This over-sized poster is a perfect example of Wilson's art at the time. It is widely considered to be one of the finest Fillmore designs ever issued and totally encompasses the scene during this historic era. Last April a same graded signed example reached $2160 in our auction. We rarely come across this amazing title in such flawless 9.8 Superb Museum Quality condition! Don't let this one slip past you. Best of all it's SIGNED by the late great artist! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
