Original 1st printing 18 x 24&1/2" 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 (and SIGNED in black flair pen 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 very good (B/B+) condition; there is a small pronounced 1" diagonal bend in the lower left corner, along with a series of very thin surface scrapes/scratches/stress bends along the upper left and lower right margins, a couple of tiny corner-tip pressure creases/bumps, a stray pin-prick surface indentation or two hiding within the image area and a couple of VERY soft hairline pinch bends here and there, otherwise it is an absolutely FANTASTIC-looking ARTIST-SIGNED 1st printing example of this iconic 1969 festival artifact.

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