| Here we have the FINEST CGC Graded example of this popular issue to appear in our auction! The chicken on a Unicycle is a very early Victor Moscoso poster and it was the artist’s second contribution to the Family Dog series. Moscoso was one of the original “Big Five” artists and his work is highly praised within the art world. Early Avalon posters are amongst the most desirable items ever issued and this piece is sure to enjoy spirited bidding from collectors looking to add this rare original poster to their collection! Thw FD-32 is one of the posters from the first year which were not reprinted later by the Family Dog and for that reason this original printing is somewhat more difficult to find than other originals dating from around this time. This is only our 5th CGC Graded example to come to auction! In June 2013 a non-certified example of similar condition realized $1277 in our auction. In November 2018 a lower graded 9.0 example reached $1093 in our auction. This piece here is third party authenticated and 9.6 graded FINEST museum quality we've ever handled!
