Lot 1783
Artist Rights Today Stanley Mouse-signed Poster. August 20, 1986 concert poster, signed in pencil by Stanley Mouse. 15 x 20", small smudge at top margin, else fine.
Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso and Wes Wilson, the great artists of the San Francisco poster scene, did not expect their innovative images to become valuable icons of an era. When a 1986 court case revealed they did not retain the rights to their work, the artists formed a partnership to recover ownership, ultimately an unsuccessful effort. In the course of working to regain their rights, benefit concerts with all-star lineups of San Francisco rock and roll greats were held. The memorable posters created for these events recreate and expand on some of the artists' 60's themes.
Estimated Value $100 - 200.
