- Description
1967. 19" x 27. A complete set of four original Beatles psychedelic portraits by Richard Avedon in 1967. These striking, color-saturated images captured the spirit of the band’s late-1960s era and have since become some of the most famous Beatles posters ever produced.
On August 11 1967, USA photographer Richard Avedon: photographed individual portraits of each member of The Beatles at Thompson House studios in London. The black and white images were the subject to heavy treatment to transform them into vividly psychedelic images. They were first published as a fold out section in the U.S. magazine Look in January 1968. There was also an offer whereby you could order a set of 4 and receive a fifth poster – a black and white banner, depicting all 4 Beatles. Later they retailed in record stores in the UK; offered for sale via an order form inserted into issue #56 of the Beatles Monthly Book fan magazine and a full page advert in the Daily Express Newspaper. They were also sold at W.H. Smith and John Menzies newsagents., as well as via Stern Magazine in Germany and in France and the Netherlands. This is the set from Stern Magazine.
These posters are in the collections of museums around the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Modern Art, New York Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
