The Beatles by Richard Avedon Pop Art Poster Set (1967) – Original 4-Poster Set

This is the original 1967 Pop Art Beatles poster set created by photographer Richard Avedon for STERN Magazine in Germany. These are the authentic first printings issued in 1967, not later reproductions. The complete set includes four color portraits of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. (The separate black-and-white banner was published as an optional fifth poster and is not included here.)

Each of the four original posters has been professionally mounted on linen. They represent one of the most famous examples of 1960s Pop Art and a landmark in music-related design. The psychedelic color treatment and iconic compositions remain instantly recognizable worldwide.

Our gallery has sold and loaned original Avedon Beatles sets to institutions including the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal, the Hard Rock Cafe Archives in Orlando, and the Museum of the City of Music in Paris. These works continue to stand as symbols of the cultural energy of the 1960s.
