Product description
A 1966 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. Music posters have long borrowed from the visual style of each era, from psychedelia to punk. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. The original image dates from 1966. Grateful Dead fans, known as Deadheads, followed the band from city to city for decades.
Styling this Grateful Dead poster
This Grateful Dead poster brings character to a plain wall or a curated gallery wall. At 24×36″ it becomes a statement piece, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. A black or antique-gold frame suits this Grateful Dead poster well and keeps the focus on the image. This Grateful Dead poster also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps. For the most natural view, place the centre of this Grateful Dead poster at eye level, around 57 inches (145 cm) high.
