The Monterey Pop Festival was one of the most pivotal musical events in history. The festival welcomed in the “Summer of Love” and featured the first U.S. performances by both Jimi Hendrix and The Who! Printed on silver foil this is one of the most beautiful important and sought after posters of the entire era and is prominently displayed in The Art of Rock plate 3.5. High grade examples of this poster are all but impossible as the reflective foil shows every minute flaw. This is the second finest we have auctioned. We sold a very similiar example graded 9.4 by CGC for $5 187.00 in July 2017.
