                <text>This collection documents one of the most important avant-garde art series in American history through the posters designed for Charlotte Moorman's Annual New York Avant Garde Festival. The festivals ran for 15 years (1963-1980, with gaps in 1970, 1976, and 1979), transforming from intimate experimental music concerts into massive public spectacles that helped establish performance art, video art, Fluxus, and happenings as legitimate art forms in the United States.</text>
