Technicolor Dreaming: Psychedelic Posters from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

The pop art and the counterculture movements of the mid-1960 led to the rise of a new visual style, the psychedelic poster. Over thirty such posters, influenced by a combination of rock music and hallucinogenic drugs, are featured in an exhibition organized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The collection includes examples from the two main series of San Francisco psychedelic rock concert posters, Bill Graham Presents and Family Dog Presents and features leading American and British rock artists of the era playing at venues such as the Avalon and Fillmore ballrooms, among others.
