Description
This black and white lithograph poster, created in 1986 by renowned caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, is titled "A Tribute to Burr Tillstrom." The image features a classic Hirschfeld caricature of Burr Tillstrom, creator of "Kukla, Fran and Ollie," alongside his famous puppet characters, Kukla and Ollie, peeking from behind a stage curtain. The print includes Hirschfeld's signature in the plate. The bottom left corner indicates "5a" and the bottom right states "The Museum of Broadcasting." The exhibition was underwritten by a generous grant from WMAQTV/Chicago. The depiction of Burr Tillstrom is courtesy of Al Hirschfeld and reproduced by special arrangement with his exclusive representative, The Margo Feiden Galleries, N.Y. This piece perfectly captures Hirschfeld's distinctive linear style and his ability to convey the essence of his subjects through caricature. This poster commemorates a significant figure in early television and puppetry, making it a desirable item for collectors of television history, puppetry, or Al Hirschfeld's work.
