Original 1st printing 24 x 36&3/4" concert/event poster for "An Aquarian Exposition- 3 Days of Peace & Music", (more commonly known as "the Woodstock Music & Art Fair", or simply, "Woodstock"), held at Max Yasgur's farm in White Lake, NY from 8/17-17/1969 (*festival actually formally closed on the morning of August 19th).

 Bands/acts listed include: Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Tim Hardin, Incredible String Band, Richie Havens, Ravi Shankar, Sweetwater, Bert Sommer, Sly & the Family Stone, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater (Revival), Grateful Dead, Keef Hartley, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Mountain, Quill, Santana, The Who, the Band, Jeff Beck Group (*canceled), Blood, Sweat & Tears, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly (*canceled), Ten Years After and Johnny Winter. There were several lineup changes/additions not reflected on the poster, including the addition of Country Joe & the Fish, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Melanie, John Sebastian and Sri Swami Satchidananda.

 Art by Arnold Skolnick, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 257 (plate 3.1).

 Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in decent/used (B/B- to B-) condition; there is a moderate degree of fading/discoloration/toning with a series of clear tape remnants going around all four margins, along with a series of tiny surface dings/stress bends/handling creases and a soft surface stain or two scattered throughout the image area, a 2" vertical tear in the top margin (sealed on the reverse with clear tape), toning/tape shadows and remnants on the reverse and a few other little minor issues... definitely a well-traveled specimen, but 100% authentic and priced reasonably.

 As there are often questions regarding the authenticity of these posters (there are a couple of different reprints), I will be happy to provide a COA.
