Collection Highlights: Psychedelic Posters
These posters capture the psychedelic aesthetic, a brightly colored and disorienting style that flourished in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Some of the earliest were produced to advertise concerts that took place in 1967, during San Francisco's "Summer of Love," when California's Bay Area hosted legendary performers like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and The Who. With their hallucinogenic graphics, these psychedelic posters embody one of the period's most iconic counterculture movements.
