John Pasche - The Rolling Stones - Tongue and Lips - 2010s

Original poster The Rolling Stones - Tongue and Lips 2010 authorized reissue by the legendary band. Published by Pyramid International Printed in Leicester UK Authentication in the margin. Large format: 91.5 x 61 cm This poster of The Rolling Stones features one of the most famous logos in rock history, which has become a true pop culture icon. Its aesthetic, with its red, black and white colors, also makes it a highly decorative poster, straddling the line between the musical world and Pop Art. THE STORY of the famous “Tongue and Lips” logo: The mouth-with-outstretched tongue logo was created in 1970 by John Pasche, then a young student at the Royal College of Art in London. Mick Jagger had asked him to design a graphic identity for the band. The drawing is often associated with the lips and Mick Jagger’s provocative attitude, but its creator has also mentioned the influence of the Hindu goddess Kali. The logo appears notably on the inner sleeve of the album Sticky Fingers, released in 1971. It perfectly embodies the spirit of the Rolling Stones: provocation, freedom, sensuality, and rebellion. A CREATION that went down in art history: In 2008, the Victoria and Albert Museum acquired John Pasche’s original drawing for $92,500. This testifies to the historic importance of this logo in 20th‑century graphic design. P.S.: The wooden frame is not included in the sale, but it helps visualize the final look. Thank you.
