The Human Be-in was perhaps “the” culminating event of the San Franciso Psychedelic scene in the late 1960’s.
This happening included all of the major figures of the day. The Be-in 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 of the era like Tim Leary Ram Dass Allan Ginsburg and Jerry Rubin spoke to the gathering of 30 000. In attendance were all of the colorful denizens of the day. 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.
Several posters flyers and handbills were designed for the Be-In however this particular version was created by the legendary Rick Griffin and is the most highly sought after. This was Griffin’s second commissioned poster and was designed shortly after his arrival in San Francisco.
This poster is a must have for any serious collector. Arguably the most famous event of the San Francisco Psychedelic scene created by one of the greatest artist of the era.
