Scarce Signed BG-19 The Beard Handbill

The Beard, by Michael McClure, was a popular play that imagined a confrontation between Billy the Kid and Jean Harlow. This was the only production of the play held at The Fillmore, but it was held at many other venues in the area around the same time period. The production ended with explicit oral sex between the protagonists, and often resulted in cast member arrests until the ACLU intervened. Because it was only a one-time production, these handbills were produced in very limited quantity, although there are many different color combinations. All are quite rare, especially in high grade. The handbill offered in this lot is known as BG-19-OHB-B in Eric King’s guide.
Medium: A Buyers Premium of 15% will be added to the hammer price of all lots.
