Artist: Dennis Loren Title: American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Art Venue: San Francisco Date: 2009 Publisher: Freakfilms, Inc. Medium: 7 Offset color lithographs Dimensions: 19 x 12 in. American Artifact, a 2009 film directed by Merle Becker, chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the '60s. The film explores the history and rise of the current rock poster movement in America, and features a cast of quirky, interesting, and extremely talented rock poster artists talking about their work and telling the story of their underground art movement. Beginning in the 1960s in San Francisco with the birth of the dance concert, a rock poster accompanied almost every show that was put on during that era. Soon, people began pulling the posters off the telephone poles almost as quickly as they were put up. In the '80s, flyers were done for punk shows on Xerox machines in local libraries or at Kinko's. They were glued to buildings and phone poles surreptitiously at night by kids in the scene. Condition: Fine
