This poster is signed in pencil by the artist Victor Moscoso!
Here we have the FINEST CGC Graded example of this popular issue to appear in our auction and the FIRST SIGNED by the artist! The chicken on a Unicycle is a very early Victor Moscoso poster and it was the artist’s second contribution to the Family Dog series. Moscoso was one of the original “Big Five” artists and his work is highly praised within the art world. Early Avalon posters are amongst the most desirable items ever issued and this piece is sure to enjoy spirited bidding from collectors looking to add this rare original poster to their collection!
This is only our 4th CGC Graded example to come to auction! In June 2013 a non-certified example of similar condition realized $1277 in our auction but it was not signed. In November 2018 a lower graded 9.0 example reached $1093 in our auction but it also was not signed. This piece here is third party authenticated SIGNED and graded FINEST museum quality we've ever handled! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot!
