Only the SECOND CGC graded example of this issue to appear at public auction. Others may surface but this lot will be hard to beat quality wise!


Robert Fried’s work was both undeniably unique and beautiful. In this poster for a Janis Joplin/Big Brother run at the Avalon Ballroom the artist used a central image of Leo Tolstoy The Author of War and Peace. This poster is printed on coated index. Superb in all respects!
