Extremely Scarce SIGNED by Robert (Bob) Fried Original 1967 "The High Mass is Coming" The FOOD #2 Poster on medium to heavy stock. This poster hangs in MOMA (Museum Of Modern Art in NYC), and even MOMA doesn't have a SIGNED copy! Colors are wildly psychedelic extremely Bright, Vivid, and JUMP/POP off the poster! Fried created posters to appeal to those TRIPPING or wanting to feel like they were tripping on LSD or Magic Mushrooms. Fried signed VERY FEW posters in his short life (Died in 1975) & almost NO Signed copies of this poster exist. Robert Fried was one of the most highly regarded poster artists of the era, and was a trained commercial artist who taught at the San Francisco Art Institute. Like the work of his friend Victor Moscoso, Fried’s formal training gave his work remarkable precision and restraint, creating designs that explored geometry and color in a strikingly unique style. This poster is dated 1967, #2, which was the numbering system for his series called “The Food,” which was Fried’s poster distribution company. This Original Poster was SIGNED by Fried for a designer friend of his in 1968. Size is Approximately 21 1/2" X 27".
