ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS FROM THE WALL
Masterworks
Created for the Album, Concerts and
Film, from the Private Collection of
Gerald Scarfe |
|
San
Francisco Art Exchange LLC (SFAE) is
honored to have been selected to
exclusively represent the most valuable
collection of Rock and Roll artwork to
ever be offered for sale.
Epic in scale and steeped in Rock
history, these original works of art are
marquis collectibles for major
individual, corporate and institutional
collectors. Due to the extensive
distribution of the imagery via album,
live-performances, music-videos, and the
film (along with the accompanying
publicity), the artwork offered is among
the most instantly recognizable and
significant in pop culture.
The Wall album topped Billboard
charts for 15 weeks, and in 1999 was
certified 23x Platinum. It remains one
of the best-selling albums of all time,
selling over 19 million copies between
1979 and 1990 in the US alone. The film
was critically acclaimed when it was
released in 1982 and won BAFTAs for Best
Original Song and Best Sound. Scarfe
developed the film's entire visual
environment before the project began and
his characters became a mixture of
live-action and animated imagery, all of
which played an integral role in the
surreal narrative.
The paintings now being offered have
been carefully selected by the artist,
Gerald Scarfe as his most important
works, and include several of the most
famous images in Rock history due to
their association with The Wall.
Iconic artworks such as The Scream,
Giant Judge & Hammers (shown
below), The Mother, and The
Teacher are available, along with
several other blockbuster pieces
including the massive original
storyboard created for the film which
incorporates 50 original renderings
(measuring overall, a whopping 8' x 3').
