From the Captain's Log

Right around 2010, at the Congress Theater, there was a lot of Lucha Libre going on, and this is kind of a mash-up of Lucha Libre, ladies in bikinis and things like that. Cool show, good music. It would be a nice piece. The frame is just decent; you would have to reframe it.

Open bidding

Opening bid

$
Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Description

A large promotional poster for “Lucha VaVOOM, Cinco de Mayo Spectacular,” showcasing a masked wrestler, a burlesque dancer, and a ring photo. The event is listed for Thursday, May 5th at the Congress Theater, 2135 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago. The poster has soft, wavy edges, a testament to its time on Milwaukee Avenue.

This piece hails from the vibrant era around 2010 at the Congress Theater, known for its Lucha Libre events. While the frame is serviceable, a fresh one might better honor its legacy. Much like a rumbling ‘L’ train, it captures a slice of Chicago’s lively spirit.
