This beautiful poster is signed in ink by the artist Lee Conklin The legendary Carlos Santana Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead Pops Staples and Pervis Staples of the Staple Singers! Wow!
This poster by artist Lee Conklin is one of the most requested and well known posters in the Fillmore series. This stunning black and white illustration exemplifies the artists’ style of hidden and flowing images. The art was so powerful that Santana had the piece reworked for their first album cover. This image is one of the most used examples of 1960’s art in volumes chronicling the genre.
Original First Printings of this issue can easily command over $5 000 in this state of preservation. This beautiful reprint offered weeks after the show 50 years ago should be available for FAR less. Best of all this example has multiple signatures which places it in a different world of collectibles!
