The Sex Pistols: An Original Proof For The Poster For The Concert At The Club Chalet Du Lac,

1976,
designed by Malcolm McLaren for the band's show at the Club Du Chalet Du Lac in Paris, printed on paper with the 'Smoking Boy' image, framed and glazed,
21in x 31in (53cm x 79cm)

Footnotes

The Sex Pistols' performances at the Chalet Du Lac on 3rd and 5th September in 1976 were significant dates in both the UK and French punk scene. For the Sex Pistols, it was their first international show highlighting their success. For France, it opened the door towards a new style of passionate and energetic music

The poster's image was also used widely on T-shirts produced by McLaren and Westwood for SEX and Seditionaries. The image, mixing the aesthetics of old-time Tin Pan Alley with unacceptable deviance provided the band with a graphic identity that proclaimed them to be 'London's most notorious band!'

Provenance:
The Stolper Wilson Collection.
