Ron Wood Signed Limited Print
<B>Ron Wood Signed Limited Print.</B></I> Ron 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-image screenprint of Elvis Presley. Signed by Wood in the lower right corner and numbered 140 of 150, the print is a vary 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. Wood's fondness for historically significant artists is present in this print done in the style of Andy Warhol. The image of Elvis repeated nine times presents a nod to both Warhol and the King, and is perhaps a comment on the exploitation of both artists' iconic status. The print was published in 1988 as one of an edition of 150 plus 18 proof prints, and is state one of two. Measuring 23" x 30", the piece is mounted in a linen-lined display frame to an overall size of 34" x 41". A stunning salute from one Rock and Roll icon to another. In Excellent condition. <I>Accompanied by a COA from PSA/DNA.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
