A glimpse into our collections
Iggy Pop: Raw Power ’93
On the evening of February 3rd, 1993, American singer Iggy Pop stepped onto the stage at Hobart City Hall. Regarded as an electrifying, energetic and unpredictable performer, Iggy delivered what was, by all accounts, a spectacular show. He was supported by Australian band Beasts of Bourbon, then at the peak of their grimy rock and roll powers.
We are fortunate to hold this enormous poster, measuring more than a metre in height and width, in the State Library and Archives of Tasmania collection. Due to its fragile condition, it has been treated by our conservation team and then digitised, ensuring it can be preserved and enjoyed by future generations of Tasmanians.
