All additional forms of bidding will be available, including absentee, phone and live via the Internet through LiveAuctioneers. Bill Graham Presents Grateful Dead, Otis Rush and His Chicago Blues Band, and Canned Heat Blues Band concert poster for appearances February 24-26, 1967 at Fillmore Auditorium (San Francisco). Original first printing. Artist: Wes Wilson. Estimate $1,000-$1,500The private collection featuring artist-signed rarities from San Francisco’s Summer of Love and the heyday of New York’s Fillmore East attracted international media interest when Parts I and II were auctioned by Stephenson’s in August 2020 and again in January 2021. The December 11 session consists of 233 lots of premier posters with additional consignments of Beatles collectibles and classic rock and jazz LPs. The sale is every bit as impressive as the previous Pfeffer outings, said Cindy Stephenson, owner of Stephenson’s Auction. “All of the posters are in mint or near-mint condition, and some are signed by the artists, including Bonnie McLean, David Singer, Randy Tuten, Lee Conklin and Stanley Mouse. At the top end, there are some very rare examples that might sell for $1,000 or more, but there are many others in the $300-$500 estimate range that will appeal to a wide range of collectors, whether they are advanced or just starting out in the hobby.”The collection’s timeline starts in the psychedelic ’60s, a time when Pfeffer was living in San Francisco and presciently acquiring now-classic posters – sometimes from the artists themselves –
