Mother said to call it my application for the position of wife of a Mensa member…I guess having depressingly first hand knowledge of social problems helps. Hope you don’t think I’m being silly in sending this……Love you, J”. 6″ x 9.25″ letter on loose leaf lined notebook paper is in very good to near fine condition. From the collection of 1965 letters of Joplin’s then fiance, Peter de Blanc. Sold for $1,177.

One of the Rarest of 1960s Rock Posters — Janis Joplin & Big Brother and the Holding Company Poster From April 1968 — Featured in “Art of Rock”

Extremely rare poster for a 19 April 1968 Fresno concert by Janis Joplin, and Big Brother and the Holding Company, with The Mint Tattoo opening. In this psychedelic explosion of colors, font and visuals, designer Dale Oftedal uses a rainbow of colors to convey his aesthetic, including the depiction of Janis Joplin as a free spirited bird perched upon a branch. This poster was printed in a very limited run, and thus scarce, especially in the condition found here. It was chosen for its uniqueness and scarcity by Paul Grushkin for his reference book, “The Art of Rock from Presley to Punk”, found on plate 3.30 and thus identified as AOR-3.30. Measures 17″ x 24.25″. A well preserved poster with light creasing and edge wear, and a few small scuffs. Overall in very good plus condition. Sold for $4,000.
