GRIFFIN, Rick. Lucifer Rising. Original poster published by Berkeley Bonaparte, Berkeley, California, 1967. 500 x 370 mm. Produced for the 1972 film titled Lucifer Rising. Created by the famed psychedelic poster designer Rick Griffin for Kenneth Anger's film. Commissioned by Anger and produced in 1967 as a promotional item, before production began on the film. Completed in 1972 but not widely available until 1980, Lucifer Rising is Anger's exploration of 1960's counterculture, occult religion and magic. These concerns are carried through on the poster, which repurposes an engraving by Gustave Dore, surrounding the image with occult references.
