About the Item
Area Nightclub 1984:
A RARE original 1984 street poster for the seminal & much legendary 1980s New York nightclub Area, uniquely featuring an alien-like Ronald Reagan; a poster that was plastered throughout the streets of downtown Manhattan in the days leading up to Halloween 1984 (referenced in final listing image). This striking work is featured in the club's acclaimed book 'Area 1983-1987' and was exhibited at The Hole Gallery in New York as part of their noted Area exhibition. Well-preserved.
Offset lithograph; 35 x 23 inches.
Fair to Good overall vintage condition. Minor signs of handling and some scattered surface creasing.
From an edition of unknown with few known to have survived.
Provenance: Area designer Fernando Natalici.
Area opened its doors in September 1983 and virtually overnight became the nexus of one of the most vibrant Downtown art and club scenes in New York. Every six weeks, they transformed the enormous space at 157 Hudson with a different art exhibit & performance theme. Area was the place where A-listers such as Andy Warhol, Francesco Clemente, Julian Schnabel, Madonna, JFK Jr. & many others went to see and be seen: A place where Basquiat DJ'd, while Keith Haring and Andy Warhol produced several installations. Area's wildly creative invitations became the hottest tickets in town and instantly collectible art in and of themselves.

Area: Further History (New York Magazine 11/1/13):
"Influenced equally by sixties-era happenings and the gonzo childhoods of its proprietors, Area opened its doors in 1983. The club, unlike any that came before it, underwent a painstaking transformation roughly every six weeks, with themes like Confinement, Suburbia, and Science Fiction that incorporated elaborate art installations with taxidermied bears, live monitor lizards, and enemas. The dramatics spilled out onto Hudson Street, where desperate crowds surged behind a velvet rope. Inside, bonked-out celebrities mingled, Bianca Jagger watched Ed Koch work out, and Sting partied with Donny Osmond. Grace Jones refused to use the coatroom—someone followed her, coat in hand, instead. Eventually times changed, and competition from other venues thinned Area’s dance floor. “People always measure the success of a thing by its longevity,” says Eric Goode, Area’s co-owner, “but the entire point of Area was its impermanence.”
