American Artifact collection, 2009.

The American Artifact Collection consists of 12 posters created by some of the artists portrayed in the film American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster, and a press kit and promotional materials for the film. The film chronicles the history of the rock concert poster, from its origins in 1960s San Francisco to its re-emergence in the 21st century. American Artifact was released in 2009 and directed by Merle Becker. Seen in a broader context, the collection provides insights to fringe and underground artists of the past fifty years, and how art is influenced by music, culture, and society, and how music, culture, and society, in return, influence art.
