A new exhibition of works by Bob Dylan will be displayed for the first time in Manchester from today.

Titled The Beaten Path, the collection of 15 limited edition graphics will be released by the UK’s leading fine art publisher, Washington Green Fine Art, and will be available to buy from Castle Fine Art on King Street and www.castlefineart.com.

The body of work is a continuation of the first instalment of The Beaten Path, released last year. It marks the next chapter in the visual chronicle of Dylan’s travels whilst touring, capturing iconic images as he journeys through America. From epic cityscapes to humble roadside eateries and boundless, limitless highways, the collection of graphics offers a view into some of the most pivotal and powerful images of Dylan’s oeuvre to date.

Dylan dates the origins of his work as a visual artist to the early 1960s. A few drawings reached the public’s gaze through various means, including the cover of The Band’s 1968 debut album, Music from Big Pink. A book of 92 drawings titled Drawn Blank followed in 1994, and exhibitions of reworked versions of these images were mounted at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz in Germany in 2007 and the following year at Halcyon Gallery in Lond

As with the exceptionally popular debut collection, each edition in the new release will again be individually hand-signed by the artist. Produced in a variety of sizes, the individual graphics are priced from £1,750.

Nic Beese, gallery manager for Castle Fine Art, King Street, said: “Following the overwhelming response to Dylan’s debut The Beaten Path collection last year, we have received huge demand for more of his work.

“It is a real honour to have this major new body of work in our gallery, giving us a unique insight into the everyday occurrences and objects of American life through Dylan’s eyes.

“We anticipate the artwork will be popular with collectors and art lovers across the world, and would invite those who would like to view the collection to visit the gallery sooner rather than later.”
