If you are looking to jump into this exciting market this is a great place to start. This lot features a super early 1966 poster from one of the most desirable venues and artists. The bill also features three of the most famous San Francisco bands.


This beautiful floral design was Victor Moscoso‘s third poster for the Avalon and shows the artist developing his unique style. Moscoso was one of “The Big 5” San Francisco artists along with Wes Wilson Rick Griffin Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley.
