WCLT Monday, Feb 22 1999 10:37AM ET Press Release February 22, 41st Annual GRAMMY(R) Awards Official Poster Now Available Online At WCollect.com Exclusive On-line Distributor for 1999 Poster Painted by Noted Artist Rick Garcia BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The chance to own a piece of GRAMMY history is now available to music lovers around the globe as the 41st Annual GRAMMY Awards Official Poster goes on the web on WCollect.com (OTC Bulletin Board: WCLT - news), the exclusive online distributor. An unprecedented venture, this is the first time that The Recording Academya has extended distribution rights of the poster -- one of the event's most powerful images -- to an independent organization. The poster, painted by noted artist Rick Garcia, is a fluid and sensual fusion of color, intermingling images of 9 musical elements -- a piano, keyboard, guitar, violin, microphone, trumpet, control board, music notes and sheet music. The images metamorphose into and out of one another, blending the traditions of yesterday into the latest technology of making music today, and in a special twist, Mr. Garcia has hidden the number of this year's Awards, 41, within the work. A longtime admirer of Eric Clapton, the 45-year-old Garcia, a native of Miami, pays unique tribute to him in this year's poster -- using the actual score of Clapton's song ''Layla'' on the image of the music sheet. The 41st Annual GRAMMY Awards Official Poster retails for $24.95 unsigned or $99.95 for the limited edition print signed by the artist. The first virtual online marketplace specializing in authentic works of art and memorabilia, WCollect.com is a collector's paradise, pioneering a new way to buy, sell and auction art and entertainment items.
