{"product_id":"bgp-253-marilyn-manson-2001","title":"Marilyn Manson by Rex Ray (BGP-253)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBill Graham Presents poster BGP-253 documents Marilyn Manson's January 10, 2001 performance at the Event Center at San Jose State University, a venue stop during the Holy Wood tour. The design, credited to Rex Ray, exemplifies the digital collage aesthetic that characterized much of the BGP series in the early 2000s, blending photographic manipulation with ornamental graphic elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRay's composition deliberately employs religious iconographic tropes, positioning Manson's stylized portrait within a radiating mandala structure reminiscent of Byzantine halos or Catholic monstrance designs. This visual strategy aligns with Manson's concurrent artistic themes on Holy Wood, which critiqued American religiosity and celebrity culture. The chromatic progression from deep red to bright orange creates visual intensity while the gold and silver metallic tones of the central device add dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the broader context of San Francisco concert poster history, this piece represents the continuation of the tradition established by the psychedelic poster artists of the 1960s, adapted through contemporary digital design tools. The BGP numbered series maintained documentation standards that facilitate collector research and authentication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.0\" x 13.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rex Ray\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
