Bob Dylan exhibition @ Halcyon Gallery London, by Dust Buster on Oct 19, 2018 17:57:50 GMT 1, If you like Dylan donโt hesitate to go. I was lucky to be in London just after it opened. Just seeing what his handwriting looks like is cool. Itโs not just drawings and lyrics, itโs also his iron work, which I had never seen in person.
He also updated the lyrics to a few songs, so take the time read through them. And thereโs a print shop across the street and I helped myself to one of them

Embarrassing to think I missed the print shop across the road. Is it part of the exhibition and what sort of prices are they charging? Thanks.

Bob Dylan exhibition @ Halcyon Gallery London, by Dust Buster on Oct 19, 2018 21:41:54 GMT 1, It's part of the exhibition. I would have missed it too if I hadn't spoken to the curator by chance. Prints were 1500 pounds including refundable VAT which they're going to send me soon, available framed (and beautifully framed I might add). There are about 8 lithographs to choose from, with lyrics and drawings to some of his most famous songs, and each from an edition of 495. I'm a bit of a Dylan connoisseur so I would have loved for a couple more obscure song choices, but I'm happy with All Along the Watchtower. It reads well as a work of poetry, and I liked the drawing the most. There is a PDF catalog that I'm happy to send.
I have some pics as well that I'll upload shortly. I agree with the above post - very well curated exhibit. When I heard it was an exhibit of lyrics, I assumed it was old hand written lyrics. I was kinda blown away by what I saw.

Bob Dylan exhibition @ Halcyon Gallery London, by caruso on Oct 19, 2018 22:23:22 GMT 1, Thank you for these precisions, cagey helpful. Did you check the gallery website, also limited edition box sets (or is your print part of one of those?)
www.halcyongallery.com/shop/bob-dylan/all
Some of these drawings were mind blowing and I must say I was pretty impressed and actually went through a varied range of emotions.
Sorry irl1, I can't post until tomorrow, traveling atm.

Bob Dylan exhibition @ Halcyon Gallery London, by Dust Buster on Oct 19, 2018 22:24:45 GMT 1, One thing I'll also add - I'm definitely not the most savvy art buyer here, so I don't know what kinds of tricks galleries employ to indicate that an edition is selling well, but on the second public day of the exhibition I got a number in the mid 100s for the print I chose, and the gallery said they were selling well. I know these editions seem large by the usual standards, but this is Bob Dylan, lyrics and drawings, and hand signed. This is going to draw a lot of interest.

In one of the articles I read about the exhibit, Dylan was asked if the accompanying drawings should convey additional meaning to the songs and he said something like, "The drawings are just the right lines in the right places."

Sorry irl1, I can't post until tomorrow, traveling atm. I took a look at the box set. The signed print is a drawing only, no lyrics. For me the appeal was the lyrics, I'm kind of a junkie for that stuff. And in the case of All Along the Watchtower, with a drawing of a couple mid century businessmen drinking his wine, it gives me plenty to think about - when the song takes place, whether those are the kinds of guys he had in mind when he wrote it, whether it's just a couple guys that have no relation to it at all. Maybe it is just a drawing!

Agreed, most drawings are spot on and it sometimes sheds light on the creative process behind the lyrics and additional meaning being the text. Also liked the many versions to knock on heavens door, quite hilarious.

With Coach, the best songwriter of all time, would suggest some of the young guns on here grabbing a 'best of' and enjoying.
