Ron Wood Signed Limited Print 1/1
<B>Ron Wood Signed Limited Print 1/1.</B></I> Ronnie Wood's talents stretch far beyond his guitar work with the Stones, The Faces, and The Jeff Beck Group. In fact, Wood is an accomplished painter and master printmaker, as evidenced by this multi-block woodcut image of bandmate Keith Richards. Signed by Wood in the lower right corner and numbered 1 of 1, the print is a vary rare and unique piece -- a lot like its creator. The iconic musician began painting when he was 12 and received formal art training at Ealing College of Art in London until 1975, when he joined the Stones. And though he may be better known for his guitar work, his stunning paintings and prints have not been overlooked; Wood had a retrospective exhibition of his work at the Museum of Modern Art, Sao Paolo, in 1996 and a 2007 exhibition at the Bailly Contemporain Gallery in Paris. The celebrated guitarist also collects art, owning pieces by Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Picasso, Rembrandt, and Georges Braque. His affection for the lattermost is apparent in this planar, textured image of Keith Richards. The central portrait of Richards' striking visage is underscored by three smaller impressions below, but it is the image itself that captures something we would not normally be privy to: an intensity and distinct character only a friend could know. Hand-signed by Wood in the lower right corner, the image is in Excellent condition and measures 22.5" x 29", framed to an overall size of 35" x 29." Though Wood usually parts with his artwork only if he has a duplicate image for himself, this piece is quite the exception. Because it is numbered 1 out of an edition of 1, there is no other piece like this one anywhere, in any collection. Truly one of a kind.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
