Printed by Tea Lautrec Litho in San Francisco, this offset lithograph demonstrates Conklin's signature approach of embedding text within surrealist organic forms, here spelling 'Fillmore' across a dreamlike landscape populated by miniature motorcyclists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poster documents a noteworthy programming decision by Graham, pairing blues patriarch Albert King with Ten Years After, whose guitarist Alvin Lee would achieve fame at Woodstock the following year. Supporting acts Loading Zone, Canned Heat, and Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks round out a bill reflecting the eclectic nature of Fillmore programming. The dual-venue dates (June 24-27 at Fillmore West, June 28-29 at Fillmore East) illustrate Graham's bicoastal business model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConklin's work for the BG series, spanning 1967-1970, is characterized by meticulous pen-and-ink technique and disturbing yet compelling imagery that challenged the more decorative approaches of contemporaries like Wes Wilson and Victor Moscoso.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.0\" x 14.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lee Conklin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
