AUCTION - Green Sphinx - 1968 Silkscreen Poster - The Ark - Sausalito - Excellent

This is an original silkscreen concert poster from the club in Sausalito, CA. called The Ark. Dated March 1–2, 1968. The bands were Zuckerman Clapacord and Salvation. Note the time is 9 to 6. AM in the morning! Bands like the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape, and more would play concerts at the Fillmore or Avalon ballrooms in San Francisco. Frequently they would pack up afterward and set up at the Ark chill to jam until dawn. Very rare. Probably 500 or less handprinted compared to Fillmore/Avalon posters printed in the thousands by professional print shops by 1968. Only the fourth one we have seen in 30-plus years. The piece measures approximately 12 1/2"  X  19". The condition is Excellent, with handling, edge wear, and a small hole just above the one "1" in the date in the bottom left corner.
