Pink Floyd Rites of Spring All-Niter London 68 Unknown
About this poster
This is a psychedelic concert poster from 1968 for Pink Floyd's "Rites of Spring All-Niter Concert" in London. The poster is done in a sepia/brown monochromatic color scheme and features densely packed, intricate psychedelic artwork characteristic of the late 1960s era. The artistic style strongly suggests the work of Martin Sharp or shows his significant influence, with its characteristic dense patterning and psychedelic flowing designs.
The central focus is a large figure amid swirling, organic patterns and text. The design incorporates several smaller photographic images or illustrations scattered throughout the composition, including what appear to be classical or Victorian-era figures in formal dress.
The artwork is filled with flowing, abstract patterns typical of the psychedelic art movement - including spirals, curves, and elaborate lettering that seems to melt and flow across the surface. There's a surreal quality to the composition, with elements floating and interweaving in a dreamlike manner that is reminiscent of Sharp's distinctive style.
The text and imagery are layered and intertwined in the characteristic style of 1960s psychedelic poster art, making some of the text intentionally difficult to read - a common design choice of the era that encouraged viewers to spend time decoding the information while experiencing the visual journey of the artwork.
This poster exemplifies the psychedelic art movement of the late 1960s, which often featured this kind of intricate, flowing design work that reflected the experimental and mind-expanding culture of the time, particularly in connection with bands like Pink Floyd who were at the forefront of the psychedelic rock movement.
The price information appears at the bottom: "TICKETS" with what looks like pricing information for male and female attendees, a common practice of the era.
