đ¸ The Rolling Stones â European Tour â 1973 â Original A1 Poster by John Pasche
Popâsurreal tour icon at the height of the Stonesâ glam era
| Offset lithograph | 84 Ă 59 cm | United Kingdom
đŹ Introduction
John Pasche delivers a sly, popâsurreal twist for the Stonesâ 1973 European dates: a tightly cropped blonde torso becomes a face, with cool blue circular âeyesâ and plush crimson lips nested where you donât expect them, platinum hair cascading against a stark black surround. The handâdrawn slogan along the lower edgeââITâS THE ROLLING STONES 1973 EUROPEAN TOUR!ââlands with the swagger of a stage shout, equal parts announcement and attitude.
Pasche, the bandâs art director and creator of the famed Tongue & Lips mark, balances provocation with magazineâslick polish. Printed at A1 in offset, the composition reads instantly at street distance yet rewards close viewing with crisp color and tight layoutâclassic earlyââ70s rock graphics that blur lines between music ephemera and Pop Art.
⨠Why It Matters
Tour material from 1973 was produced quickly for venues and urban posting; survivors in strong, displayable condition are prized. This design encapsulates the Stonesâ glamâera mythologyâsex, spectacle, and brand distilled into a single, memorable imageâwhile showcasing Pascheâs pivotal role in defining rock visual culture. Collectors value originals like this for their crossover appeal to music history, graphic design, and British Pop aesthetics, with the emphatic tagline anchoring provenance to the European run.
