About the Item

The Doors 1969 Electric Circus Screenprint Poster. Large silk-screened poster referencing The Doors and the Electric Circus, New York. This is a fantasy / retrospective poster, not an actual concert handbill, as no such performance occurred. The work was produced in the early 1980s for distribution through custom frame shops, following a renewed surge of interest in The Doors after “The End” was prominently featured in Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now. The poster gained significant collector attention following its inclusion in The Art of Rock by Paul Grushkin, where it is documented as plate 3.161. Due to its large scale, the poster was originally sold mounted on foam core, a condition common to all known first-state examples. Condition notes include scuffing, foxing, and an abrasion to Morrison’s hair, consistent with age and handling of mounted examples. Professionally framed by Chelsea Frames (August 2025) in a matte white wood frame; floated on white archival rag mat board (approximately 2" float all around), shadowbox construction, with 99% UV-filtering acrylic. Image Size: 41" W × 17" H Framed Size: 47" W × 23" H

The shoot took place at a photography studio in a penthouse at Thompson House, 200 Gray's Inn Road, London, England. The American photographer took a number of shots of the group, four of which were later embellished with psychedelic effects. The posters were printed by Waterlow Sons Ltd of London/ The publisher's information appears in the lower right margin of each poster. One a side note, Avedon sold the copyrights of both the photos he took that day and his psychedelic embellishments, executed in post production, to NEMS Enterprises, Ltd. - a firm run by the Beatles music manager Brian Epstein. On Aug 27, 1967, sixteen days after Avedon’s Beatles photo session, Beatles manager Brian Epstein died from an overdose of Carbitol. The Beatles were shocked. By strange twist of fate, the Beatles were attending Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s meditation seminar at Bangor, North Wales. The guru they had just met in London became a substitute for their use of psychedelics and a cushion for their bereavement. Avedon, unknowingly to the Beatles, or even himself, had captured this true spiritual essence just weeks before. January 1968 was the initial concurrent publication of the Avedon photos...
