Product description
A 1967 music poster for Grateful Dead, known as “Elephant”.
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 art draws on the screen-printed gig posters, album sleeves and tour graphics of past decades. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. The original image dates from 1967. Music posters became collectable as fans began keeping tour and gig posters as souvenirs.
Styling this Grateful Dead poster
This Grateful Dead poster brings character to a plain wall or a curated gallery wall. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most 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. Keep this Grateful Dead poster out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
