Up for sale is an authentic, original 1970 political campaign poster supporting Nelson A. Rockefeller’s historic re-election offer for Governor of New York. Leaning heavily into the era's exploding counter-culture graphic style—made famous by artists like Peter Max—this poster features a vibrant, multi-colored psychedelic "R" with a black-and-white portrait of Rockefeller smiling at its center. This was a deliberate, highly stylized push by the campaign to capture the youth and independent vote at the turn of the decade.
