Product Details
More than a musician, the Grateful Dead's founder Jerry Garcia was also a prolific artist who created hundreds of paintings, drawings, and prints. This Collector's Edition of Jerry Garcia: The Collected Artwork is the definitive presentation of his visual legacy, crafted for the most devoted fans.
