The Retrospectrum Collection
2022 sees the release of a brand new collection of limited edition graphics by Bob Dylan, The Retrospectrum Collection. Titled in celebration of the international tour of Dylan’s major museum retrospective of the same name, the collection has been greatly anticipated by Dylan collectors worldwide, since Retrospectrum first opened to the public at Modern Art Museum, Shanghai in 2019. The provenance of these artworks is exceptional, having formed part of an integral display within the exhibition, as seen in situ in the image below. The Retrospectrum museum exhibition spanned six decades of Dylan’s artistic career and featured more than 300 paintings, sculptures and drawings. The curation united seven series of Dylan’s visual art, along with archival material and brand-new paintings. Following its opening in Shanghai, the exhibition then toured to the Today Art Museum in Beijing and the Jupiter Museum of Art in Shenzhen. Within The Retrospectrum Collection limited edition graphics we see a nod to the Impressionist colour palette employed by Dylan within The Drawn Blank Series , a clear draftsman’s hand as showcased within Mondo Scripto and subject matter that echoes the street scenes and travel-focussed compositions now synonymous with The Beaten Path . This collection represents a visual pathway following Dylan’s artistic journey, whose ever-evolving artistry continues to position him as inarguably one of the most revered cultural icons on the global stage.
