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 The Kinks and Elton John.  The central image features the head and shoulders of Michelangelo's David, printed in blue ink within a fine black frame.  The image is produced twice, the second is reversed, rather like a playing card, and a picture of a brilliant cut diamond appears in the upper right and lower left corners, as if to emphasise this analogy.  The event details are printed in black stylised letters, above and below this image, on the white background.  The text reads, 'Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco, The Kinks*, Elton John*, Ballin'Jack, Juicy Lucy.  Lights - Little Princess 109.  Fillmore West  12-13-14-15 Nov.  * Will Not Perform Sunday Night'.","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":"1970","earliest":"1970-01-01","latest":"1970-12-31"},"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":"53.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"35.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO / THE KINKS* / ELTON JOHN* / BALLIN'JACK / JUICY LUCY / LIGHTS - LITTLE PRINCESS 109 / FILLMORE WEST  12-13-14-15 NOV / * WILL NOT PERFORM SUNDAY NIGHT'","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, printed above and below the image in black, stylised letters"},{"content":"'© BILL GRAHAM 1970 # 256   <b> TICKETS</b> TEA LAUTREC LITHO - SAN FRANCISCO / ALL MACY'S TICKET OUTLETS  SAN FRANCISCO - FOX PLAZA BOX OFFICE NINTH & MARKET - CITY LIGHTS BOOKSTORE 261 COLUMBUS AVE / THE TOWN SQUIRE 1318 POLK - OUTSIDE IN 2544 MISSION      BERKELEY - DISCOUNT RECORDS -  SHAKESPEARE & CO     SAUSALITO - THE / TIDES     REDWOOD CITY - REDWOOD HOUSE OF MUSIC     SAN MATEO - TOWN & COUNTRY RECORDS     SAN JOSE - DISCOUNT  RECORDS / MENLO PARK - DISCOUNT RECORDS     SAN RAFAEL - RECORD KING'","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, printed in yellow stylised letters."},{"content":"'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":"Artist's name, printed immediately below lower right corner of the image, signature, black letters"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"\"Bill Graham Presents The Kinks, Elton John\" psychedelic poster #256 by David Singer, USA, 1970","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"David (King)","id":"N582"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"men","id":"AAT25928"},{"text":"busts","id":"AAT47457"},{"text":"statues","id":"AAT47600"},{"text":"diamonds","id":"AAT11084"}],"contentConcepts":[{"text":"psychedelic art","id":"x36568"},{"text":"music","id":"x35606"}],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.485-2004"],"accessionNumberNum":"485","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2004,"otherNumbers":[{"type":{"text":"Leslie Schreyer Loan Number","id":"THES50220"},"number":"LS.889"},{"type":{"text":"Poster number","id":"THES50776"},"number":"# 256"}],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-09","recordCreationDate":"2006-08-14","availableToBook":false}}
