Rick Griffin's Hawaiian Aoxomoxoa is one of most coveted desirable and expensive concert posters in the world. We have sold multiple copies for over $50 000!

 

The reprint offered here offers the opportunity to own the EXACT SAME ART without paying the price of a fine automobile or small condo.. This poster has it all incredible color design and one of the best examples of the artists signature lettering style. It was created for a concert by one of the greatest bands in the history of Rock n Roll and it's incredibly scarce.

 

The Hawaii Aoxomoxoa was inspired by the artwork for the third Grateful Dead album. This poster was created for a run of cancelled 1969 Dead shows in Honolulu Hawaii. As the legend goes the printer did not get paid by the promoter and destroyed all but a handful of copies. 

 

This piece is Signed by the late great artist in Museum Quality Condition and 100% Original with no restoration! In October 2017 another 9.4 graded example reached $1047 in our auction and it wasn't SIGNED like this one here! More and more collectors are coming into the fold with the knowledge that artist signatures add a whole other dimension to their treasures. Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
