This poster is one of Rick Griffin’s most appreciated and collected posters; the design is a collage of various popular characters from advertising accompanied by some favorite FD poster references. It’s the timeless message of ”Everyone is Good at Heart” that brings this piece even greater meaning. This print was made for the opening of the Denver Family Dog venue. The Denver Family Dog was a short-lived experiment to bring a San Francisco type concert venue to the Rockies. The venture failed to make any money and closed within a year but the club did produce a handful of great posters before it’s end.
This is tied for the finest quality CGC graded example to ever appear at public auction. A 9.8 example realized $603 over two years ago on April 2015. The market for CGC graded posters is ALOT hotter and bigger now than 2 years ago. It could easily be a few more years before this opportuinity presents itself again!
