It was commissioned, alongside three portraits of the other band members and a banner poster of the whole band, by the band's manager Brian Epstein (i.e. NEMS Enterprises). The posters were widely distributed by different magazines, including The Daily Express in England and Look magazine in the United States. This set is one distributed by Stern magazine in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. \r\n\r\nThis poster is a seminal image of the late 1960s, not least because of the subject matter. The Beatles were at the height of their fame and inspired by psychedelia. This poster is an iconic image, and shows Ringo holding a dove, an emblem of peace.","physicalDescription":"Poster featuring Ringo Starr of the Beatles, print of solarized photographic image.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Avedon, Richard","id":"A4168"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Epstein, Brian","id":"A11382"},"association":{"text":"commissioned by","id":"x28662"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour lithograph","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"},{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Posters","id":"THES252963"},{"text":"Psychedelia","id":"THES253011"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AF6729"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"Y","shelf":"62","box":"C"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"poster","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1967","earliest":"1967-01-01","latest":"1967-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"E.278-2002","id":"O88625"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"E.279-2002","id":"O88629"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"E.280-2002","id":"O88632"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"E.282-2002","id":"O88635"},"association":""}],"creditLine":"Purchased through the Julie and Robert Breckman Print Fund","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"27","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"19","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Poster of Ringo Starr of the Beatles, print of solarized photographic image, Richard Avedon, late 1960s","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Christoph Grunberg, ed. <u>Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era</u> London: Tate, 2005. 239 p. : ill.
