Advertisement for '60s rock band Pacific Gas and Electric by an unknown artist who blatantly stole Berman's signature motif of hands holding transistor radios.
n.p.: Columbia Records, 1970.
Item #SKB-16882
A quarto page neatly excised from Billboard magazine. The advertisement utilizes a disturbing still from D.W. Griffith's film "The Birth of a Nation." At the bottom the anonymous artist placed 5 handheld transistor radios identical to Berman's and in each he put a photo of one of the band members. An all-too-obvious appropriation of Berman's trademark imagery. Interesting ephemera for a Berman aficionado/historian and the first time we've seen a piracy of Berman's work. Fine (11" x 8.25").
Price: $50.00
