Behrens is an evocative example of the San Francisco psychedelic poster tradition extending beyond rock concerts into the city's broader cultural scene. Created to promote Ragtime, the unveiling of a holiday fashion collection at Grace Cathedral on September 9–10, the poster reflects the era's blending of art, fashion, architecture, and counterculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSatty's signature collage technique is on full display. A soaring Gothic cathedral interior forms the backdrop, while Victorian-era figures populate an ambiguous landscape that merges rocky terrain with sacred architecture. Suspended within the cathedral nave is an oversized flower-like form that echoes a rose window while introducing the dreamlike surrealism characteristic of Satty's work. The hand-lettered typography and restrained purple and cream palette reinforce the poster's elegant yet distinctly psychedelic aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe event itself illustrates the experimental spirit of early 1970s San Francisco, when institutions such as Grace Cathedral embraced unconventional programming that brought together fashion, live music, and the visual arts. Rather than advertising a concert, the poster documents a moment when psychedelic graphic design had become a visual language for the city's wider cultural life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.5\" x 14\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark Behrens and Wilfred Satty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
