DISCOVER ARTWORK
‘Bob Dylan truly is one of the most influential cultural icons of our age. I do believe there is no one like him and there will be no one like him for a very long time. He has the incredible ability to continue to speak to audiences of all generations through the multiple disciplines of the arts. We are very proud to have worked and represented him as a visual artist for over 14 years. His drawings, paintings and ironworks are all celebrated in this incredible global touring museum exhibition that opened in China at the Modern Art Museum Shanghai.’
