Description

Official (Rapoport Press, 1970's-era) 2nd printing 24 x 36&3/4" 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 Arnold Skolnick, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 257 (plate 3.1).

 Medium flat stock (kind of a semi-gloss, but without any reflection) poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there are a few tiny nip tears/creases scattered around the outer margin area, along with a touch of toning, a stray handling/stress crease or two lurking within the image area, a few tiny spots on the reverse and a hint of curling to the paper, otherwise fine.

 SUPERB-LOOKING example of the large-format re-issue Woodstock poster, a very reasonably-priced alternative to the original, printed from the same film on almost identical paper.
