For Sale - Original Bob Dylan Poster from 1966, by stingray on Oct 18, 2010 21:43:54 GMT 1, Milton Glaser, one of the founders of New York's Push Pin Studios, created an icon of 1960's counter-culture in his now-classic "Dylan" poster.
It was a new form of poster, according to the artist, created as a bonus insert for the "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" album of 1967. Dylan who wrote such songs as "Blowin in the Wind" and "Mr. Tambourine Man", was the folk rock poet of the 1960's. Glaser used his famous name (Dylan) as a typographically innovative design feature on the poster. In addition, by pairing a bold, black profile inspired by Marcel Duchamp's self portrait silhouette with bright colored writing curves reminiscent of psychedelic rock poster, Glaser merged West Coast exuberance with pared down East Coast stylization.
Date: 1966
Size (cm): 84 x 56
Size (inches): 33 x 22
Price: ยฃ190
For more information please read this excellent article from The Smithsonian: www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Sign-of-the-Times-Bob-Dylan.html
