Fare Thee Well by Status Serigraph for Grateful Dead in 2015. You can own #332/2000 for the 6/27-28/2015 Grateful Dead show by Status Serigraph.
Renowned gig print artist.
Gig Prints have a rich history in the US. Born out of the psychedelic rock music of the 60s, the first known Gig Print was for a band called Charlatans performing in San Francisco in This poster is often referred to as "The Seed" and from all it took was a little psychedelic water to see this new art genre blossom!
What began as a way to promote an upcoming show has now evolved to be used to commemorate the performance. We now see gig prints for nearly every major performance, with some shows having multiple artists for a single show or creating individual works of art for each night for a multi-stay stand. Oftentimes, these concert posters, or gig prints, are screen printed, and signed or numbered, representing a limited edition, capping the number of prints that are in market. In addition to these show versions, many times artists have allotments they sell personally, usually after the event has taken place, these are marked as AE or AP and sometimes also numbered in themselves. The size of the run, the popularity of the show, or the art itself, can all impact the value of each gig print.
This gig print was made for a specific show or run of shows, claim your piece of history!
The influences of the Good Ole Grateful Dead run deep and wide in the music community. The influence of the band and its front man, Jerry Garcia, has been felt for generations, and reverberates into the future. There are many different side projects and tribute bands, as well as art influenced by the band and celebrating musical releases. Much of the art features the iconic imagery of the Dead, including the Bears, Turtles, and of course Skeletons, including the Stagger Lee and the Steal Your Face skullie.
