This Handbill is signed by the artist Wes Wilson
This magnificent handbill for a cancelled Family Dog show at the Avalon is described by noted concert poster expert and historian Eric King as “The quintessential psychedelic poster”! The central image is borrowed from a 19th century painting by Viennese Painter Franz Von Stuck. This image is a re-occurring theme in the Avalon series with this being its initial use.
Handbills such as this can be counterfeited so CGC’s authentication brings much needed stability and integrity to this popular area of the marketplace.
