Artist: Wes Wilson

Title: Rare BG-19 The Beard Poster

Printing Date: 1966

Medium: Lithograph

Size/Format: 14" x 20"

Publisher: Bill Graham

Series: Bill Graham Presents

The Beard, by Michael McClure, was a popular play that imagined a confrontation between Billy the Kid and Jean Harlow. This was the only production of the play held at The Fillmore, but it was held at many other venues in the area around the same time period. The production ended with explicit oral sex between the protagonists, and often resulted in cast member arrests, until the ACLU intervened. Because it was a one-time production, this poster was produced in very limited quantity. It is quite rare, especially in high grade.
