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 Sha-na-na.  The central image is a photographic collage, featuring a number of elements, including a rocky landscape, a man on a horse, a goldfish in its bowl, and the moon superimposed onto a cliff.  The scene is printed in black and white and is set to the left of the poster, within a silver-grey border.  The event details, printed in black, stylised letters, are arranged around the border, above, below and to the right of the image.  The text reads, 'Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco, Sha-na-na & Pacific Gas Electric, Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks.  Lights by Abercrombie.  June 25-26-27-28 - special mid-week show Traffic, Leon Russell, Brotherhood of Light.  June 30 July 1-2.  Fillmore West'.\r\n\r\nThere is a small amount of creasing and some surface damage to the upper left corner.","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":"54.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"35.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO / SHA-NA-NA / & PACIFIC GAS ELECTRIC / DAN HICKS / & HIS HOT LICKS / LIGHTS BY ABERCROMBIE / JUNE / 25-26-27-28 / - / SPECIAL / MID-WEEK SHOW / TRAFFIC / LEON RUSSELL / BROTHERHOOD OF LIGHT / JUNE 30 / JULY 1-2 / FILLMORE WEST / -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":"Event and venue details, printed in the border, around the edges of the image, in black, stylised letters.
