AUCTION - AOR 3.36 - Jefferson Airplane Band & Artist Signed - 1967 Poster - Cal Poly - Near Mint Minus
Wow! Talk about a treasure. This is really special. This is an original Jefferson Airplane concert poster from California Polytechnic State University, located in San Luis Obispo, CA. This creative, psychedelic concert poster is pictured in the Art of Rock book on page 265, plate 3.36. But this example is unique. There were only two hundred printed, so it is very rare compared to Fillmore/Avalon posters at the same time, printing thousands of each. This one was taken backstage by the artist personally and got the band to sign the poster after the show. You have Jack Casady under the airplane illustration (in green), Grace Slick in the left front wheel and Paul Kantner doodling on the front of the airplane, Spencer Dryden in the sky area at upper left, and Marty Balin next to the figure with wings. It is very exciting to see a poster this early and signed by the band at the time of the concert. Finally, the artist, Donald Richard Pimentel, has signed his own poster in pencil at the bottom right corner. This is the only example we have seen autographed by the artist and might be the only one. Incredible Jefferson Airplane artifact from 1967. The poster measures 14 1/2” X 18 5/16”. In near-mint condition with only handling and a light stain in the lower right bottom edge. All of that happened when the poster got passed around to be signed. An amazing, unique poster.
