Original 1st printing 24 x 36&7/8" concert/event poster for "An Aquarian Exposition- 3 Days of Peace & Music", more commonly known as "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 (and SIGNED and numbered 33/144 in pencil by*) Arnold Skolnick, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 257 (plate 3.1).

 Medium-thin flat stock (kind of a semi-gloss, but without any reflection) poster is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a tiny 1/4" edge tear and a tiny nip in the upper right margin, a stray soft handling ding or two hiding within the image area and a couple of nearly-invisible edge dings/creases, it is an absolutely STUNNING ARTIST-SIGNED original 1st printing example of this ICONIC late-'60's poster from arguably the most famous rock festival of all time.

*this example comes from the artist's personal stash of 144 original posters, which he signed and numbered sometime in the late 1980's.

 As there is often question regarding the authenticity of these posters, I have included additional photos highlighting a couple of the print hickeys that have been used as indicators to determine originality. If there are any questions or concerns regarding the authenticity of this poster, I will be happy to provide a COA.
