Beloved artist David Singer, currently with 118 posters in the Moonalice series, will be featured in a new exhibit opening Friday, September 17, 2021 and running until November 21, 2021 at Haight Street Art Center in San Francisco, California. Viewing by appointment only (until furthur notice)
The Haight Street Art Center is delighted to present Grand Legacy, which looks at the people behind Tea Lautrec Litho, a San Francisco-based print and poster studio, and the studio’s cultural impact on a generation of artists and activists.
Few figures have been as important to the history of San Francisco’s countercultural movements as Levon Mosgofian (1907 – 1994) – and few have remained as little known. Born into an Armenian immigrant family shortly after the turn of the 20th century, Mosgofian was a labor organizer and political activist as well as the printer and founder-proprietor of Tea Lautrec Lithography. Perhaps most celebrated for its long-time collaboration with Bill Graham and his stable of artists on posters promoting rock concerts, Tea Lautrec Lithography also produced a range of materials across other fields.
This exhibition is the first to consider the ways in which Mosgofian’s life experiences – as an immigrant, organizer, and activist – shaped the values he brought to founding Tea Lautrec and working with artists. It is also the first exhibition to consider the rock art that Mosgofian and his team printed as only one piece of Tea Lautrec’s output, a small part of the legacy of a business that was as much gathering place as it was print shop.
Both this exhibition and the one upstairs – After Hours: The David Singer Sessions –explore the important role played by Joe Buchwald, Mosgofian’s closest colleague. Buchwald, the father of Marty Balin, a member of Jefferson Airplane, also introduced Mosgofian to Bill Graham.
Mosgofian retired in the early 1980s, and not long after, Tea Lautrec Litho closed its doors – part of the end of an era in which community and counterculture defined printing in San Francisco.
Upstairs, HSAC is honored to present work by David Singer, one of the artists to whom Levon Mosgofian was closest. Between 1971 and 1973, David Singer spent perhaps a dozen weekends at Tea Lautrec Litho, making new prints from old collages he’d originally created for rock promoter Bill Graham. Singer’s partner at Tea Lautrec during these weekend printing sessions was Joe Buchwald, one of the shop’s master printers. These sessions began sometime after the closing of the Fillmore West in 1971 – an opportunity for a new beginning for Singer.
With the help of Buchwald, Singer enlarged some of his old Fillmore collages before drenching them in new, often otherworldly hues. Frequently, he paired one collage with another to create serendipitous new compositions—collages of collages. Though only a small sample of Singer’s output with Buchwald will be shown in the exhibition, the prints offer a glimpse of an artist at a crossroads, experimenting with the posters of his past to see what they might have to say about his future.
Selected items from both exhibitions will be for sale.

In partnership with San Francisco Recreation and Parks, the Haight Street Art Center is excited to present Furthur Magic: A Psychedelic Poster Journey. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Golden Gate Park, this exhibition explores psychedelic poster art of the 1960s, especially in the Haight, psychedelic events in Golden Gate Park, and the ongoing legacy of the psychedelic events and styles pioneered in both places. The exhibition will be open April 15th to May 16th, Thu-Sun from 11am-5pm and is free to the public. We are located in the County Fair Building, Golden Gate Park, 1199 9th Avenue.
