Westover Gallery is showcasing a signed limited edition giclée print of Bob Dylan's Two Sisters, part of his debut visual art collection, The Drawn Blank Series. These pieces originated from sketches Dylan created to "relax and refocus a restless mind" during the isolating experience of life on tour. Notably, Dylan conceived the idea of exploring the same image in different colors—a concept he suggested to Andy Warhol, who later gained worldwide fame for his iconic take on this technique.
Two Sisters gained further recognition in 2020, when it appeared in Season 5 of the critically acclaimed Showtime series Billions. The artwork is prominently displayed in the penthouse apartment of lead character Bobby Axelrod (played by Damian Lewis), a hedge fund manager and avid art collector.
As one of the most influential artists of all time, Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records. His contribution to worldwide culture has been honoured with many awards. These include an Academy Award for his song 'Things Have Changed', along with 10 Grammy Awards and a Special Citation Pulitzer Prize for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture”. Further accolades include France’s prestigious appointment of Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, a Kennedy Center Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize in Literature for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.
A framed and signed limited edition giclée on paper of 295 by cultural legend, Bob Dylan entitled Two Sisters - large (2008).
On adding new colour and texture to his originally monochromatic sketches, Bob Dylan wrote: "every picture spoke a different language to me as the various colours were applied". This is emblematic of The Drawn Blank Series where Dylan revisited drawings that he made while on tour in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Since being exhibited within the ground-breaking touring exhibition Retrospectrum, which has so far opened in Shanghai, Beijing and Miami, Dylan's The Drawn Blank Series remains enduringly significant, over a decade after it was first released.
It has been said that Dylan gave 40 of each release from the Drawn Blank Series to his agents known as "Black Buffalo"
