Bahr Gallery is proud to be supporting PinkAid Long Island by donating this poster (and separately a wine and cheese party!) for auction at the October 16 Benefit! The poster was commissioned and created by Wes Wilson, the creator of the psychedelic poster (back in 1966 San Francisco), for the Bahr Gallery and only 250 were printed. Framing donated by The Framing Workshop in Huntington. If you haven’t been to Bahr Gallery in Oyster Bay yet, please check out our Instagram, FB page or website - it’s worth the trip...!

Two Jimis at Bahr Gallery! The one on paper is called Medusa and it is the stunning silkscreen by German artist Gunther Kieser. This was an artist-supervised numbered (177/500) and signed piece done in the mid 1990s of one of Kieser’s most iconic posters for a show in Stuttgart Germany in January 1969. The silk screen process lets the artist put down much more ink on the paper, which is extra thick to hold it. On this piece you can literally see the layers of ink on top of each other creating a 3D effect. A beautiful showpiece for a home or office. On exhibit now through Aug 31....

Did you go to this show? CSNY 1974. This and many more on display today 12-5:30 at Bahr Gallery. Woodstock and Other Festivals Exhibition ends Aug 31. So people ask me, where are the years on these posters? There are no years because these original vintage posters were used to sell tickets to shows - they were in the moment - everyone knew what year it was! Posters with years on them, as you see today, as called commemorative posters - they are sold at a show as merchandise. The rock posters from the late 60s and early 70s were working farm animals, out there on telephone poles and in store windows selling tickets!

Check out these lyrics from 1968s Up From The Skies: “I have lived here before the days of Ice And of course this is why I’m so concerned And I come back to find the stars misplaced And the smell of a world that has burned And the smell of a world that is burning Yeah, well, maybe it’s just a change of climate....” Jes sayin. Listen to some awesome Hendrix and other music of Woodstock by our musicians playing electric cello and keyboards Sunday night from 6-8, along with your Woodstock stories on open mic, amazing art and refreshments!

He’s also written a terrific memoir of his quite fascinating life in the sixties, pictured here. Recommended.

Check out this little guy! Santana Lion handbill. This was given (returned?) to me by a good friend - we used to go to Ben Friedman’s Postermat in SF’s North Beach, buy some of these postcard/handbills, then go down to Spec Adlers Cafe and Museum - and drink beer and write about the mad fresh Pacific Night to friends Back East. And a night’s raving from back in the day is what’s on the other side!

Mondays can be a pain and here is a character named Peter Pain adopted for this neat Moody Blues and Chicago Transit Authority poster. The psychedelic poster artists were not above borrowing commercial images and using them in their advertising for dance concerts. Peter Pain is the name of a character in Ben-Gay ads in the 1940s and 50s and he was seen inflicting pain on people. Pretty nasty looking dude. Poster by Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley for 4 shows at the Fillmore West in 1968. It’s part of our British Invasion exhibition which closes soon so make plans to come by this weekend!

Fire up the limo and join us for music and fun Friday night 6-8pm! How about this January 1969 poster featuring a backup band for Country Joe and the Fish called Led Zeppelin! Crazy - who ever heard of a band with a name like that? Probably went nowhere. OK, well their first album was released during this set of shows at the Fillmore West and, yes, they were headlining soon enough. Come see this and other vintage first-edition 60s posters featuring bands from the UK in our British Invasion Exhibition, closing June 9 so hurry!

In contrast to the previous post of an extremely psychedelic Lee Conklin poster, here is something completely different. Tired of Bill Graham complaining that the psychedelic posters were illegible, Stanley Mouse concocted this “boxing style” extra legible poster for a Traffic show in 1968. Graham said, what the hell is this?” Mouse answered, “just what you wanted.” This particular poster has an outrageous “Mouse Doodle” Stanley Mouse signature in the middle. Photo (which is actually very surreal and Mouse is in the photo, second from the right) is by Bob Seidemann, who did the (in)famous Blind Faith album cover....I could go on but better to just stop by! 😃🙋🏻♂️

An absolutely sick, melting, color-changing psychedelic gem from Lee Conklin.

This oversized poster dominated my room Senior year of college. Had lost track of it and I don’t own it but did find an image of it on the web. The unfortunate railing over his hand was offset by the kaftan around the leg, for me anyway. Photo is from the Northridge CA Pop Festival in 1969- oddly called “Newport Pop Festival”. We do have the original poster for the festival being framed now for next month’s Woodstock and Other Festivals Exhibition. Opening June 21, 5:30-8:00pm. #woodstock #jimihendrix #jimihendrixposter #posterart

Them, featuring the young Van Morrison, part of the British Invasion Exhibition at Bahr Gallery. This show at the Fillmore in SF, June 1966, followed a three week run at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles. There, the opening band’s lead singer reportedly studied Van Morrison’s technique closely - that would be Jim Morrison and the then-unknown Doors. Okay that would be enough, but check this out: Van Morrison and Them were playing these songs: Gloria, Turn on Your Lovelight, it’s all Over Now Baby Blue, In the Midnight hour.....OK so now it’s Spring 1966. One show in San Francisco. How likely was it that the members of the Grateful Dead were in the audience checking these guys out that night? I’d say pretty high....jes sayin. These posters tell the story!! #vanmorrison #vanmorrisonandthem #gratefuldead #1966 #fillmore #billgraham #thedoors #posterart #weswilson #psychedelicart #rockposters

Great pre-1973 Pink Floyd show (Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets) Thursday night at the Beacon Theatre.

Lee Conklin evokes Hieronomous Bosch in this twisted tale of humanity advertising the Yardbirds at the Fillmore Auditorium In May 1968. This was the Yardbirds last tour and guitarist Jimmy Page was getting itchy, playing extended and experimental blues that would form the basis of his next band. I think you’ve heard of them.
