🎵 Stevie Wonder and Wonderlove – 1984 – Original A1 Tour Blank
Pre‑venue printer’s blank for the 1984 tour, meant for local venue/date overprint
Offset lithograph | 86 × 61 cm
🎬 Introduction
A saturated, heat‑drenched red ground sets the stage for a large, painted close‑up of Stevie Wonder at peak ’80s arena iconography: mirror‑gleam sunglasses catching a starburst, braids and beads rendered in hot yellow and crimson, and perspiration picked out in glossy highlights. The composition balances theatrical, almost airbrushed realism with bold cream titling—“Stevie Wonder and Wonderlove”—that reads decisively at distance while rewarding close inspection with painterly texture.
This is the printer’s “tour blank,” the generic master intended to be overprinted locally with city and date. Untrimmed and straight from the printery, it preserves crop and registration guides and runs oversize at 86 × 61 cm rather than the finished A1, offering a behind‑the‑scenes snapshot of how major tours were promoted in the early–mid 1980s.
✨ Why It Matters
Tour blanks were working tools: overprinted, posted, and discarded. Surviving examples that remain unoverprinted—and especially untrimmed with visible cutting marks—are scarce. The crediting of Wonderlove anchors the sheet to a specific touring configuration, while the illustrated portraiture and big, toy‑box type exemplify the graphic language of 1980s soul/funk and arena promotion. For collectors and design historians, the uncut state provides documentary evidence of the production process, bridging music ephemera, print history, and illustration‑led design. It’s a compelling crossover piece for Stevie Wonder collectors, poster aficionados, and those tracking the evolution from offset‑illustrated concert art into later photographic campaigns.
