“The Woman with The Green Hair” is one of THE seminal posters of the era. This Mouse/Kelley piece utilizes the classic Art Nuevo image created by legendary artist Alphonse Mucha for the JOB cigarette paper logo. A perfect blend of beauty quality and historic imagery. This poster is 100% original with no pinholes or restoration of any kind. 

 

As the market for 1960's CGC graded concert posters continues to expand this piece is sure to enjoy enthusiastic demand! We sold a 8.5 graded example for $1265 in November 2018 however this slightly lower 8.0 example here should provide the winning bidder with tremendous value.
