This poster was created by Wes Wilson for a performance of the Beard that was promoted by Bill Graham at The Fillmore.  The Beard was a play by beat playwright and poet Michael McClure. This shocking counter culture performance pushed the envelope and embodied everything that was so life changing about late 1960’s performance art music and culture. It also produced this beautiful popular poster that was produced in exceedingly small quantities in 1966.  A super clean undamaged example that is sure to be the highlight of any early collection of Fillmore posters!


Estimated value of a NON CGC GRADED average undamaged example: $900- $1500
