2022 March 12 - 13 The David Swartz Vintage Vinyl Collection Entertainment & Music Memorabilia Signature® Auction

Records truly are the companion collectible to posters. Not only is music the source of our initial connection to the posters but album cover art is intimately entwined with poster art. The era of rock music that we are devoted to delved into similar pools of aesthetics and design and many of the San Francisco poster artists also created some of the most enduring album art ever.

David Swartz is also one of the world’s top collectors of concert posters. His collection was the sole source for the posters that were displayed at the 2019 Rock-themed exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art titled “Play it Loud”. David has spent more than three decades amassing countless rare posters, records, and other forms of music memorabilia. For more information check out this New York Times article from 2017!
