He was also the last artist to produce an original series for the Fillmore. Singer's designs employ diverse collaged elements, drawn from both photographic and printed sources, to produce fantastic and often surreal scenes.","physicalDescription":"Psychedelic poster advertising a concert for Moby Grape.  The central image fills most of the poster and features three classical figures, a two females and one male nude, in an Egyptian setting, with a river and palm trees, printed in blue on grey.  The entire image is framed by a white border, and a red border which contains information relating to the ticket vendors.  Most of the event details are printed in red stylised letters, overlaid onto the image.  The text reads, 'Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco, The Original Moby Grape, Spencer Davis, and Peter Jameson.  Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids.  Lights - Images.  June 24-27 Fillmore West'.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Singer, David","id":"A13834"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Graham, Bill","id":"A17864"},"association":{"text":"issued by","id":"x36339"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Tea Lautrec Litho","id":"A13827"},"association":{"text":"printers","id":"x31107"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour offset lithograph","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Advertising","id":"THES49001"},{"text":"Posters","id":"THES252963"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":[],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC (VA)","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"3G","shelf":"DR17","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"poster","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"United States","id":"x29333"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1971","earliest":"1971-01-01","latest":"1971-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Gift of the American Friends of the V&A; Gift to the American Friends by Leslie, Judith and Gabri Schreyer and Alice Schreyer Batko","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"53.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"35.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO / THE / ORIGINAL / MOBY GRAPE / SPENCER DAVIS / AND PETER JAMESON / FLASH CADILLAC AND THE / CONTINENTAL KIDS / LIGHTS – IMAGES / JUNE / 24-27 / FILLMORE WEST'.","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Event and venue details, the first line printed above the image in dark-blue lettering, the rest overlaid onto the image and printed in red stylised letters"},{"content":"'TICKETS / ALL MACY'S TICKET OUTLETS   SAN FRANCISCO - CITY LIGHTS BOOKSTORE 261 COLUMBUS AVE - THE TOWN SQUIRE 1318 POLK - OUTSIDE IN 2544 MISSION - MUSIC ODYSSEY 3628 GEARY / OAKLAND - SHERMAN CLAY 2135 BROADWAY   BERKELEY - DISCOUNT RECORDS -  SHAKESPEARE & CO     MILL VALLEY - VILLAGE MUSIC 9 EAST BLITHDALE    REDWOOD CITY - / REDWOOD HOUSE OF MUSIC     SAN MATEO - TOWN & COUNTRY RECORDS     SAN JOSE - DISCOUNT  RECORDS    MENLO PARK - DISCOUNT RECORDS     SAN RAFAEL - RECORD KING / HAYWARD - THE GENERAL STORE 24518 MISSION     © BILL GRAHAM 1971 # 286  TEA LAUTREC LITHO / SINGER'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Ticket vendors and artists' details, printed in stylised dark-blue letters at the bottom of the poster."}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"\"Bill Graham Presents The Original Moby Grape\" psychedelic poster #286 by David Singer, USA, 1971","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"landscapes","id":"AAT15636"},{"text":"nudes","id":"AAT189568"},{"text":"men","id":"AAT25928"},{"text":"women","id":"AAT25943"},{"text":"palm trees","id":"x31894"},{"text":"cranes","id":"x34973"},{"text":"trees","id":"AAT132410"},{"text":"rivers","id":"AAT8707"}],"contentConcepts":[{"text":"psychedelic art","id":"x36568"},{"text":"music","id":"x35606"}],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.489-2004"],"accessionNumberNum":"489","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2004,"otherNumbers":[{"type":{"text":"Leslie Schreyer Loan Number","id":"THES50220"},"number":"LS.897"},{"type":{"text":"Poster number","id":"THES50776"},"number":"# 286"}],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2006-08-14","availableToBook":false}}
