Bob Dylan Art

Although Bob Dylan is best known as a singer and songwriter, he is also a writer, film director, actor, radio broadcaster and artist. His experimental collection of writings, 'Tarantula', was published in 1970 and his autobiography 'Chronicles: Volume One', released in 2004, became an international bestseller. Bob Dylan has both directed and acted in a number of films, making his first appearance in 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' (1973) and more recently in 'Masked and Anonymous' (2003). A collection of Bob Dylan's drawings and sketches, made while on a tour of America, Europe and Asia between 1989 and 1992, were published in 'Drawn Blank' in 1994. These drawings were re-worked and first shown at a museum exhibition in Germany in autumn 2007, and at Halcyon Gallery, London in 2008. In April 2008, Dylan received a Special Citation Pulitzer Prize 'for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power'. A major exhibition of selected works from 'The Drawn Blank Series', together with new re-worked versions, and a magnificent collection of signed limited edition graphics were premiered across the UK in summer 2008 to huge critical acclaim; with many pieces selling out immediately upon release. Summer 2009 sees the release of a brand new carefully selected collection taken from the ‘The Drawn Blank Series’.
