RANDY TUTEN SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA'S ROCK GENRE ARTIST
Randy Tuten is the only poster artist to span 5 decades designing for the Fillmore. He remains a prolific poster designer today, and is still a regular producer for Bill Graham Presents and other promoters. Tuten's work has long been recognized for its seminal influence in the art of modern rock and roll, and has been featured in major musem exhibits as well as in several important book-length retrospective studies of rock art. Though his work shows the influences of the 60's era, it has also evolved in recent years into an orderly and highly varied style of ornamental commercial art, often reminiscent of the advertising used in the deco era. The general consensus in the rock art community is that he has continued to grow as an artist and may be doing his best, most creative and exciting work at the present time. His posters are now a part of rock history, and for both curator and collector, will always be among the most desirable and telling artifacts of West Coast rock aesthetics.

About Randy Tuten
|
In January 1969, after a year of being rejected as a poster artist by Chet Helms at the Avalon, 23 year old Randy Tuten took his portfolio to the Fillmore where Bill Graham immediately hired him. Tuten was partial to traditional advertising styles, Graham was bound to receive his work as something considerably more akin to his own taste.
