This Rick Griffin Original Poster is considered one of the most important and desirable posters ever created. The worldwide demand has always overwhelmed the tiny available supply! The Human Be-In kicked off the Summer of Love. It was originally conceived as an opportunity for the San Francisco Bohemians and Berkeley radicals to join forces in celebration of their respective counter culture ideals. The Stage was taken by the major San Francisco bands of the day, as well as Psychedelic advocates, political radicals, beat writers and spiritualists. Key figures included Tim Leary, Ram Dass, Allan Ginsburg and Jerry Rubin who spoke to the gathering of 30,000. The Be-in was a true illustration of the ideals of the Haight and probably the last true gathering before the innocence of the culture would be lost. In May 2018, another CGC graded 9.4 example of this rare and cherished sold for $3,164.00 in our auction.
