We are pleased to present a reprint of the father of the psychedelic concert poster Wes Wilson's FIRST poster! This piece titled "Are We Next?" features powerful imagery that may be shocking as was its intent. Wilson designed this piece in 1965 as a statement on America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Wes Wilson was one of the most socially and ethically conscious voices of the San Francisco scene and this piece illustrates that point. However the poster's message rings as true as ever to this day. An amazing historical piece that would be a great addition to any collection.
