Big-O posters were UK-style commercial posters that were created by some of the best artists of the day. Martin Sharp was one of the major contributors to the series. This piece is the first in the series and was originally advertised in OZ magazine, sold by mail order as BO-1 just a few months after the July event date. With the Big-O publisher credit in the lower left margin, this example dates from the September 1967 commercial printing. 

 

Martin Sharp posters always enjoy top demand and this incredible piece of art rendered on gold foil is no exception! If you like your posters to exhibit full psychedelia then this is one lot you should not pass up!
