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 by Boz Scaggs and Tower of Power.  Two nude figures, printed in blue, one winged, the other with a flower-like halo, embrace within an Art Nouveau smoke-like scheme printed in orange.  All of this is set upon a grey ground.  The text, which is mainly printed below the image in blue, reads, 'Bill Graham Presents In San Francisco Fillmore West, Boz Sczggs, Tower of Power, Mason Proffit. Lights - Crimson Madness. Jun 17 - 20 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":"1969","earliest":"1969-01-01","latest":"1969-12-31"},"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":"35.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO / BOZ SCZGGS / TOWER OF POWER / MASON PROFFIT / LIGHTS - CRIMSON MADNESS / JUNE 17 - 20 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, printed mainly at the bottom of the poster, below the image, in stylised, blue letters"},{"content":"'SINGER / NOW ON SALE AT MACY'S <b> TICKETS</b> ALL MACY'S TICKET OUTLETS / SAN FRANCISCO - CITY LIGHTS BOOKSTORE 261 COLUMBUS AVE - THE TOWN SQUIRE 1318 POLK ST - OUTSIDE IN 2544 MISSION   ST   OAKLAND - HOLE IN THE WALL 3345 LAKESHORE AVE / BERKELEY - DISCOUNT RECORDS -  SHAKESPEARE & CO     SAUSALITO - THE TIDES     REDWOOD CITY - REDWOOD HOUSE OF MUSIC     SAN MATEO - TOWN & COUNTRY RECORDS     SAN JOSE - / © BILL GRAHAM 1970- No 229   DISCOUNT  RECORDS    MENLO PARK - DISCOUNT RECORDS     SAN RAFAEL - RECORD KING    TEA LAUTREC LITHO - SAN FRANCISCO","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 printing information, at bottom of poster, printed in blue letters."}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"\"Bill Graham Presents Boz Scaggs and Tower of Power\" psychedelic poster #285 by David Singer, USA, 1969","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"figures","id":"AAT189808"},{"text":"nudes","id":"AAT189568"},{"text":"wings","id":"x34900"},{"text":"flowers","id":"AAT132399"},{"text":"fairies","id":"x34800"}],"contentConcepts":[{"text":"psychedelic art","id":"x36568"},{"text":"music","id":"x35606"}],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.476-2004"],"accessionNumberNum":"476","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2004,"otherNumbers":[{"type":{"text":"Leslie Schreyer Loan Number","id":"THES50220"},"number":"LS.878"},{"type":{"text":"Poster number","id":"THES50776"},"number":"# 285"}],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-09","recordCreationDate":"2006-10-12","availableToBook":false}}
