Joint Show Posters

1967 July 17

4 (Linear feet)

The Joint Show opened on July 17, 1967, in the Moore Gallery in San Francisco, Ca. It was the first art show to celebrate psychedelic rock concert poster artists and their work. The show showcased the "big five": Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, and Wes Wilson. Each of the five artists created a poster exclusively for the show, which was also made available for purchase. The show helped to create an acceptance of rock concert poster art in the larger art world and the museum community, and led to more gallery shows and the inclusion of these types of works into museum collections. This collection contains four of the five original posters.
