The AJ Masthay Grateful Dead "Bertha" Poster is a unique and highly collectible piece of artwork, reflecting a long-standing relationship between the artist and the iconic band. Created by AJ Masthay, who is renowned for his work with the Grateful Dead, this limited-edition poster features Bertha and Uncle Sam enjoying their favorite Dead album on a McIntosh audio system, alongside a sketch of the Dead's iconic McIntosh-powered Wall of Sound. This collaboration was part of a series of officially licensed Grateful Dead posters by various artists, initiated by Bottleneck Gallery with AJ Masthay's piece leading the way.
The poster measures 18 x 24 inches and was hand-printed by Masthay using his reduction block printing process, a technique that adds a unique depth and quality to each print, making them more akin to fine art pieces than mere posters. Printed on high-quality, 100% cotton printmaking paper, each print stands as a collectible work of art. The attention to detail and the quality of materials used in the creation of these posters is evident. They are individually signed and numbered by the artist, adding to their exclusivity and collectible value.
Limited to only 250 pieces, the AJ Masthay Grateful Dead "Bertha" Poster is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Grateful Dead and the artistic talents of AJ Masthay. It's not just a poster, but a piece of music history, appealing to fans of the band and collectors of music memorabilia alike. This limited availability and the exclusivity of the artwork make it a sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts of the Grateful Dead.
