DESCRIPTION: A vivid tribute to the heart of San Francisco’s counterculture, Haight-Ashbury by David Wills captures the spirit and energy of the city’s most iconic neighborhood. Painted in 1982, this poster of Wills' richly detailed watercolor overflows with color, whimsy, and nostalgia — a kaleidoscopic view of the Haight’s legendary Victorian architecture, eclectic street life, and musical legacy.
The poster’s dreamlike panorama includes playful nods to the Summer of Love, psychedelic art, and the Golden Gate Bridge glimmering in the distance — all rendered in Wills’ distinctive, fluid watercolor style. Published for the Off the Wall Gallery in San Francisco, this lithographic print was produced by the renowned Tea Lautrec Litho press, known for its classic rock and art posters of the 1970s–1980s.
An essential piece for collectors of Bay Area art, psychedelic culture, or vintage San Francisco posters.
Wills describes the map on his WordPress site: "Watercolor rendering of my city block as a castle fortress island, funded by the merchants of Haight Street. 24 x 18, Last poster personally printed by Lavan Moscovian at T-lautrec Litho. 1982."
