Description

Paul Grushkin's compilation of over 1,500 posters, reproduced in their exquisite, original colors, is a must for the serious collector of poster art who is also interested in the history of the genre and the genesis of the music. The volume concentrates on the dance concert period of the late 1960s and early '70s, but traces the development of the poster and music from the 1950's and includes coverage, albeit less comprehensive, of the punk rock period. Grushkin's work is considered an authoritative source of rock poster art in its painstaking research of the Who, What, Where and When behind the pictures.

The legendary promoter Bill Graham, the historic venues he opened and closed, the artwork created to advertise and commemorate the events, and the performers who graced those beloved stages have become legendary for their uniqueness in time, medium and message. Chronicled by the poster artists, photographers, performers and Graham himself, the books within this category offer intimate portraits of an exceptional time and place.
