Starting bid: $1.00

The BG-26 is yet another creative leap forward for the work of Wes Wilson. This original handbill represents the first time that the artist would incorporate a nude figure into his Fillmore poster art. This would be a reoccurring theme in Wilson's work for the remainder of the time he was enlisted by Bill Graham. Experienced collectors know that this is one of the "sleepers" of the BG series.

 

Condition: Tape on the reverse.
