Jimi Hendrix: Platt Poster Co., Black Light Poster (1969)
Two years after he ignited the counterculture’s imagination while setting his guitar ablaze onstage at Monterey Pop while intoning “Surf music is dead!” (The Beach Boys had pulled out of headlining the music festival due to Brian Wilson’s fear the band wouldn’t be well received, a disastrous decision that would haunt the band for years.), Jimi Hendrix would close out the decade’s penultimate rock festival Woodstock with a searing rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
That same year, The Platt Poster Company in Los Angeles released a silkscreen blacklight poster of Hendrix, based on a Donald Silverstein photograph that featured the rocker in full psychedelic bloom.
Just a year later, on September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix joined ‘The 27 Club’ by his death in London.
By the end of the 1970s, LA’s famed poster company had joined him.
