Listing Information

This auction presents a vivid convergence of music, cinema, protest, and imagination — a gallery of poster art that transcends decoration and enters the realm of cultural artifact. Each work captures a moment when graphic design was a voice: loud, poetic, rebellious, and unforgettable.

At the heart of the sale is a commanding group of Vintage Music Posters, including promotional works associated with legends such as Neil Diamond and jazz virtuoso Stanley Turrentine. These large-format pieces pulse with the energy of live performance, echoing the golden era when concert posters were emblems of identity as much as advertisements.

A rare intellectual and visual anchor appears in the presence of imagery inspired by M. C. Escher — a master of paradox and perception. The Escher-associated work invites viewers into a world where geometry bends, gravity dissolves, and imagination becomes architecture. It is a poster that rewards endless looking, a meditation on infinity rendered in ink.

Equally powerful is the Black Light Martin Luther King Jr. poster, a luminous artifact of social consciousness and psychedelic-era design. Glowing with electric color and reverence, the piece merges activism and artistry, reflecting a moment when poster art carried both aesthetic daring and moral weight. It stands as a tribute not only to Dr. King, but to the era that transformed walls into canvases of protest and hope.

Film culture electrifies the collection through posters tied to landmark cinema, including material connected to The Warriors, whose gritty graphic language remains instantly iconic. These works embody the raw visual urgency of late-20th-century film promotion — bold, confrontational, unforgettable.

Adding a surreal narrative dimension is the Wayne Anderson illustrated poster, a work steeped in dreamlike storytelling and intricate detail, bridging fine illustration and collectible design.

Together, these posters form a visual archive of performance, philosophy, rebellion, and imagination. They are artifacts of moments when art leapt off the gallery wall and into public life — when paper carried sound, cinema, politics, and dreams. This is not merely a collection; it is a curated cross-section of cultural memory.
