{"product_id":"peter-max-muirhead-galleries-artist-signed-1977","title":"Peter Max for Muirhead Galleries (Hand Signed)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Max: Muirhead Galleries documents the artist's 1977 exhibition at Muirhead Galleries in South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, California, one of Southern California's leading contemporary art galleries during the late twentieth century. Created to promote the exhibition held April 23 through May 8, 1977, the poster features one of Max's signature female profile compositions, rendered in bold black contour lines against a radiant red-to-yellow gradient. The simplified silhouette and saturated color palette exemplify the graphic language that made Max one of the most recognizable artists to emerge from the Pop Art movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes this example is that it was personally signed and inscribed by Peter Max, adding a level of rarity rarely encountered with this exhibition poster. The inscription, dedicated \"For Tunc,\" is accompanied by Max's signature dated '81, documenting a later signing several years after the original exhibition. Rather than simply promoting the gallery show, this example became a personalized artwork in its own right, preserving a direct connection between the artist and its recipient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigned exhibition posters from Peter Max occupy a unique place within his body of work. While the original posters served as ephemeral advertising for gallery exhibitions, examples personally autographed by the artist blur the line between promotional material and collectible original memorabilia. The signature and inscription provide an additional layer of provenance and historical interest, transforming what was once a temporary exhibition announcement into a far scarcer collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the poster also reflects an important moment in Max's career as he transitioned from the psychedelic imagery of the 1960s to an established presence in commercial galleries across the United States. Exhibitions such as this helped introduce his work to a broader collecting audience and cemented his status as one of America's most commercially successful Pop artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.0\" x 23.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peter Max\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
