Victor Moscoso, Signed Vintage Exhibition Poster ‘Trippy World’

About the Item

Signed vintage Victor Moscoso exhibition poster Published in conjunction with 'Trippy World' - a 1999 exhibition held at Baron/Boisante gallery, New York. Off-set lithograph Measures: 16 x 20 inches Hand signed in pencil (lower right). Very good to excellent overall condition Signed First printing; 1999; acquired directly from Baron/Boisante. Victor Moscoso was among the most gifted and influential artists to emerge from the '60s counterculture, pioneering not only the psychedelic concert poster designs made famous during San Francisco's Summer of Love, but also making his mark in underground comix. Born in Spain and raised in Brooklyn, Moscoso attended Cooper Union Art School before studying at the Yale School of Art; he arrived on the west coast in 1959 to enroll at the San Francisco Art Institute, and after graduation remained at the school for another five years to teach lithography. Alongside Rick Griffin, Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, and Alton Kelley -- with whom his work was celebrated during the famed 1967 "Joint Show" -- Moscoso became one of the most famous of the psychedelic artists to surface during the mid-'60s, due to his provocative work for the Family Dog's dances at the Avalon Ballroom, and his Neon Rose posters for the Matrix earning international attention. By 1968, he had turned his focus to underground comics and storytelling, becoming one of the contributors to Robert Crumb's infamous Zap series; he also gained renown for his cover art for performers like Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Herbie Hancock, and David Grisman. Moscoso additionally designed countless t-shirts and billboards, later winning a pair of CLIO awards for his animated advertising projects; he also worked in music video.

Vintage Kid Creole Concert Poster 1985
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Vintage Kid Creole and the Coconuts 1985 concert poster: This rare Kid Creole and the Coconuts announcement/poster was published on the occasion of his December 26th, 1985 show at Carnegie Hall. This was the band's debut performance at Carnegie Hall, and it was written about in the New York Times: "THE POP LIFE; CARNEGIE HALL DEBUT FOR KID CREOLE" (December 25th, 1985). Medium: Offset printed concert poster. Dimensions: 11 x 17 inches. Good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. American latin pop band founded by August Darnell aka Thomas Browder in 1980 in New York City. Fronted by Kid Creole (2) backed by the trio of The Coconuts and also featuring Coati Mundi, they enjoyed most of their success in the eighties. Their debut album was critically well-received but not successful commercially. Their second album was a concept album matched with a New York Public Theater stage production; it received positive reviews, with Darnell recognized as a clever lyricist and astute composer, arranger and producer. Their international breakthrough came with their third album, 1982's Tropical Gangsters, which hit #3 in the UK and spun off three Top 10 hits with Stool Pigeon, Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy and I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby ; Dear Addy also made the Top 40. In the US the album was retitled Wise Guy and reached #145, and I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby flirted with the R&B charts. Dixit Darnell: "In the Savannah Band I’d modelled my style on 1930s/40s jazz singer and showman Cab Calloway, and I created Kid Creole as an extreme version of that, a sort of lounge lizard...
