01
Artifact Overview
In the 1960s and 1970s, Tea Lautrec Litho's posters were a common sight in and around San Francisco, California. The company, owned and operated by Levon Mosgofian, produced hundreds of posters that were used to promote concerts by both local and internationally famous bands. Turn-of-the-20th-century Art Nouveau design, which had a resurgence in the 1960s, heavily influenced Tea Lautrec's signature style.
