Description (About the Artwork)
This historic 1967 promotional concert poster was created by legendary graphic icon Milton Glaser to advertise Simon & Garfunkel's milestone performance at Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall on January 22, 1967. Printed as an authentic lithograph by the Security Printing Company, Inc. in New York City, this piece captures the folk-rock duo just months after the release of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Glaser places both musicians structurally on towering blue and green 3D pedestals, mirroring the blocky, bulbous visual weight of his famous "Baby Fat" typeface. This rare, documented printing represents a definitive merging of mid-century pop art illustration and typography.
