Chelsea Girls (1966) – 1970 Motif Editions British Double Crown
 
 
A superb and highly collectible British poster for Andy Warhol’s Chelsea Girls, featuring the extraordinary and instantly recognisable artwork of Alan Aldridge.
 
Originally created for the film’s London screenings, Aldridge’s provocative black-and-white design has become one of the defining images of British counterculture and underground cinema of the late 1960s.
 
This example is the authorised 1970 Motif Editions second printing, produced by Shenval Press, Harlow, England. It retains the original Arts Laboratory screening information within the artwork and should not be confused with later modern reproductions.
