Place of origin |
David Singer was the last artist to produce an original series of posters for Bill Graham at the Fillmore. Between 1969 and 1971, Singer produced 66 posters, which was more than any other Fillmore artist. His style is heavily reliant on the use of photographic collage. This poster, known as "Two Lips", is of course a pun. The image contains a field of tulips as well as two pairs of women's mouths. Singer considers it one of his favourites.
