Original 1966/67 Silkscreen Pink Floyd Poster up for Auction
Ewbank’s Auctions, the premier international antiques and fine art valuers and auctioneers based in Surrey, South East England, have announced several interesting Pink Floyd items up for grabs as part of their Music Memorabilia auction, which is taking place on August 26. While there are several signed LPs, CDs, and various items of the like, there is one particular piece of memorabilia that caught our attention and that we wanted you to know about:
LOT 2014: This item is a VERY rare original silkscreen Pink Floyd poster from 1966/67. These were made to be sold and/or displayed at those early Pink Floyd shows from the era. From IBIS Designs, it measures 29.7 x 19.9 inches and is an original artwork by Wendy Gair, who was Floyd’s co-manager Andrew King’s girlfriend at the time and designed some of the very earliest posters for the band. This is the second variant of this style of poster.
The starting bid is £1,000, and is estimated to fetch anywhere between £2,000 and £4,000, and possibly more, due to the fact that original pieces of memorabilia from the Syd Barrett era of the band are hard to come by. Click to view the listing page for LOT 2014.
As we mentioned above, this is set to go under the hammer on August 26 at 10am UK time. You will need to sign in to your “My Account” and or register for an account to bid in the live and timed sales. Best of luck! Do let us know if you win by dropping an email to tony@pinkfloydz.com.
