The exhibition’s centerpiece, Arnold Skolnick’s original 1969 Woodstock poster, played an pivotal role in the success of the largest and most influential rock concert of the Sixties. One symbol – a dove perched on a guitar – succinctly expresses the Woodstock ideal. The poster’s fine print, a treasure trove of juicy memorabilia, indicates the $18 3-day ticket price, a list of performers from Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, The Band, Santana, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joan Baez and many others, as well as "dozens of curious food and fruit combinations to experiment with.” This poster represents just one of the exhibition’s mementos of the “Psychedelic Sixties”. Additional works include a remarkable Through the Looking Glass LSD blotter and a Neon Rose poster by Victor Moscoso.
