This classic Rick Griffin Avalon poster was the artist’s first contribution to the Family Dog series. This popular poster borrows from Michelangelo’s “The creation of Adam”. Griffin went on to create some of the most memorable posters of his time.


In September 2017 a CGC 9.8 graded example realized a high water mark of $587 in our auction. This 7.5 original printing piece here looks far better than the numerical grade would suggest and will provide great value for collectors wanting to own this beautiful image without breaking the bank.
