THE CURE 1979 - A gig poster measuring 15" x 23" together with an unused ticket for the gig, a black/white still of the band and a black/white promotional leaflet with information about their London dates. The Central School of Art student gig for which this poster was created took place in March 1979 at the Conway Hall. PROVENANCE: The poster was designed by our vendor who was a graphic design student at the Central School, as well as being social secretary for the student union, and responsible for booking The Cure for the gig which was held at the hall as there wasn't enough room at the college. The poster design used an image from a 1930s book called 'Marvels of the Modern World', silk screen printed at Central by print technician Rod Parsons who had the idea of adding the orange background. From a run of circa 100 posters, we suspect that there are only a few left - this is one of 3 still owned by the vendor - rolled / flat (4)
