Lot Note(s): Signed by Warhol in black marker, lower center. Edition unknown, presumed small. Light cream wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression. Fine condition.
Comment(s): Scarce, and rare signed by Warhol. Designed by Wes Wilson. There were three printings of this poster. The first, pre-concert, is rare. It can be differentiated from the second printing by the appearance of the union logo (#72) lower left and the size (approximately 20 x 14 inches). The second printing, authorized by Bill Graham and printed early in 1967 (along with the first printing of the postcard), lacks the union logo and was printed by the West Coast Lithograph Co., San Francisco. Their imprint appears in small print just under the image, lower left. The size is slightly smaller. The third printing was printed in 1993 by Wes Wilson with "Andy Warhol and His Plastic Inevitable" in pink rather than white and "(c) Wes Wilson BG-8-3/PS 33" was added below "Fillmore" at the lower left corner of the image above "Ticket." The poster measures 20" x 14". Image copyright © Wes Wilson. [28363-4-1200-NA]
