Bob Dylan: The Asia Series

Regular price Regular price $80

This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Bob Dylan: The Asia Series at Gagosian, 980 Madison Avenue, New York. The most celebrated singer-songwriter of our time, Dylan has also been making visual art since the 1960s, but his work was not publicly exhibited until 2007. The Asia Series, the artist’s first exhibition in New York, was a reflection on his travels in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. In the featured oil and acrylic canvases, he depicts people, buildings, landscapes, and street scenes alongside more enigmatic interpretations of personalities and situations.

Available in four different covers, the book illustrates, in color, all eighteen works in the exhibition, alongside selected details. It also includes a conversation between curator John Elderfield and the artist—the first interview that Dylan ever gave about his engagement with visual art—and an essay, “There Goes My Hero,” by Richard Prince, in which the author recalls his own encounters with Dylan and his oeuvre.
