About Wolfgangs Vault Poster Art: Wolfgang’s Vault’s collection of concert posters, regarded as one of the largest collections available to the public in the world, includes over 6,000 different products ranging from the 1960s to the present day. During the 1960s, the rock poster developed into a unique, highly creative form. Informal arrangements between the promoters and the artists gave the poster artist more liberty than most commercial enterprises would have permitted. Between 1966 and 1971, roughly 450 poster designs were printed to advertise rock concerts at the Fillmore Auditorium and Avalon Ballroom alone. The posters, originally produced in small editions and hung on walls or telephone poles to promote the upcoming shows, quickly became collectors’ items. The 1960s was not only the golden age of the rock poster, it was one of the great periods of poster art, period, and its impact on advertising and graphic design is felt forty years later. Watch Wolfgang’s Vault poster expert, Grant Feichtmeir, explain more about our posters.
