Bob Dylan Leads Roseberys’ November Prints & Multiples Sale

Two prints in Bob Dylan’s Sidetracks series (lot 468 & 469) led Roseberys’ November Prints & Multiples auction, each realising a price of £26,240. Unique and hand-embellished by Dylan, the prints feature dates, cities, and countries from his concerts between 1961 and 2013. The highlighted lots represented performances in Brighton (2002) and London (1987). Roseberys holds the record for the highest hammer price for a Dylan print, also from the Sidetracks series.* 

Another Dylan work, The Beaten Path, a set of 10 giclée prints depicting American landscapes and urban scenes, sold for £13,250. In total, the 35 Dylan works in the sale contributed £108,950, comprising 24% of the sale's hammer total.

Modern masters also performed well, with highlights including Picasso’s iconic anti-war image of a dove in the sun (£13,120), an untitled Bridget Riley screenprint (£12,464), and Dalí’s Cosmic Rhinoceros (£12,464). A rare Edvard Munch work sold comfortably within its estimate at £8,528. Prints by Munch are rare, as most of his works are in museums, with over half held in the Munch Museum. This instance, featuring both plates printed on the same page before separation, is an exceptional example.
