The "6 WAS 9" show features 56 posters from Gary
Westfjord’s personal collection of vintage rock posters,
tickets, albums and other ephemera of the era. The exhibit's rock
posters emerged from the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1960s
and early 1970s. Originally tacked on telephone poles and displayed in
storefronts, the posters were commissioned by music impresarios Bill
Graham and Chet Helms and often were given away at weekly concerts. In
recent years, their value as works of art has been firmly established as
they have been featured in major exhibitions.
