Product description
A 1965 music poster for Grateful Dead.
About The Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965 and became famous for long, improvised live shows. Grateful Dead posters and album art, from skeletons and roses to dancing bears, are central to psychedelic design. Retro music posters celebrate the album covers, tours and graphic styles of past decades. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Grateful Dead fans, known as Deadheads, followed the band from city to city for decades. Retro music art draws on the screen-printed gig posters, album sleeves and tour graphics of past decades.
Styling this Grateful Dead poster
This Grateful Dead poster is a simple way to give a room personality and a sense of history. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. Finish this Grateful Dead poster with a black or antique-gold frame for a clean, gallery-style look. For a gallery wall, pair this Grateful Dead poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
