The Drawn Blank Series | 2021
Coinciding with the Frost Art Museum's new Retrospectrum exhibition, Bob Dylan's latest release sees two of the first-ever paintings from his iconic The Drawn Blank Series collection recreated as an exclusive set of limited edition graphics. Hand-signed by the Nobel laureate and Grammy Award-winning musician, these highly collectible works revisit the origins of the artistic style of one of the world's most influential cultural icons.
When Ingrid Mössinger, the director of the Gallery of Modern Art in Chemnitz, Germany, came across Drawn Blank, a book of Dylan's sketches, in an antiquarian bookshop in Manhattan in 2005, it kicked off an extraordinary fine art programme that has been exhibited as far as Shanghai and Beijing. Originally released in 2008, The Drawn Blank Series reimagines the personal sketches Dylan created between 1989 and 1992 whilst touring America, Europe and Asia. The original drawings of landscapes, hotel scenes and nudes debuted to huge critical acclaim, with the bold colours and free style drawing comparisons to the art of Pablo Picasso.
Our previously unpublished editions of 'Backyard' and 'Truck' have been expertly curated from our incredible portfolio of limited edition and original art by the legendary singer-songwriter. Showcasing Dylan's early style - with scenes of Americana marked by poetic loose lines and texture - they symbolise a seminal step in the evolution of his artistic expression, making them an ideal addition for collectors of Dylan's art. The small edition of just 95 indicates the rarity of this exclusive set, which has been printed on rough-edged museum paper to mirror the texture of the sketchbooks in which Dylan originally drew them.
