The North Yorkshire saleroom has a good track record with the 80-year-old troubadour and Nobel Prize for Literature winner, having sold seven Dylan prints that were offered separately last October, making a combined £9700 hammer total.
At the latest offering on June 19 was a set of eight giclee prints from his 2014 The Drawn Blank Series. They came to auction from a private client in the north-east and here were offered as a single lot with a £7000-10,000 estimate.
Each of the 2ft 4in x 22in (70 x 56cm) impressions was signed, numbered and had a certificate of authenticity from Washington Green Fine Art. Six came in their original portfolio case and two were framed.
The Drawn Blank prints were based on a series of pencil studies made when Dylan was on tour between 1989-92. The sketches were published in a book of the same name in 1997 before later being ‘reimagined’ and worked up into a bolder and more vibrantly coloured run of prints in the late 2000s.
Here the lot was bid to £12,000, when it was knocked down to a private Lancashire buyer.
