Explore Bob Dylan’s Artistic Side: Exclusive Summer Exhibit at Fenimore Art Museum

This summer, the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York, will present 'Bob Dylan Remastered: Drawings from the Road' from May 25 to September 15, 2024. The exhibition includes ninety-two original signed works by Bob Dylan, showcasing his skills as a visual artist. These artworks were created from 1989 to 1992 during his 'Never Ending Tour.' They capture everyday scenes and moments that interested Dylan.

Bob Dylan, known for his influence on music and culture, started sketching to occupy himself during his tours in North America, Europe, and Asia. He has stated that drawing with pencil and charcoal helped him focus his mind and express his artistic side. The Fenimore Art Museum's exhibition displays Dylan's abilities as a draughtsman and his storytelling through visual art.

The artworks, part of The Drawn Blank Series, are remastered versions of Dylan's sketches. He added watercolors and gouache to these pieces, enhancing the original drawings. This special edition was first shown in 2007 at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz Museum in Germany. Owned by a private collector, the series demonstrates Dylan's versatility in art.

Chris Rossi, the Director of Exhibitions at Fenimore Art Museum, noted that the exhibition offers a chance to see another aspect of Dylan's talent. It targets both his music fans and art lovers. The museum aims to display world-class art in Cooperstown's historic setting.
