Description:
Artwork by: SPAIN RODRIGUEZ
.
Created for the company by the legendary underground comic and
Fillmore concert
poster artist, SPAIN, the artwork is pure “pulp”.
The phenomenal prescience of the play created over 45 years ago is how corporate
big business begins selling us “air” to breathe at stations not unlike those now selling gas.
As the air has been so fouled that it is barely breathable.
(Well, did you ever think you’d have to buy bottled water at outrageous expense?)
We were the representatives for the group and this poster has been in our archives
for 45 years. Our archives are part of the permanent special collections
at New York University and the University of California-Davis libraries.
