Money can’t buy you love. But all you need is cash if you’d like some
hand-signed artwork by the Fab Four or even a backstage pass to meet a
Beatle.
The Beatles Art Show and Sale rolls up to Dallas’ Hard
Rock Cafe on Oct. 10, just in time for Ringo Starr’s show Oct. 11 at
Verizon Theatre and Paul McCartney’s tea party Oct. 13 at American
Airlines Center. More than more 100
pieces of Beatles-related art will be at the sale, which continues
through Oct. 13, priced from $5 to $8,500 and ranging from rare framed
photographs and posters to signed artwork by John, Paul and Ringo.
While
neither Paul nor Ringo will be at the sale, Beatlemaniacs who buy at
least $3,000 of Ringo’s art will score a backstage pass for two to meet
and take a photo with Ringo before his Verizon concert. Proceeds
go directly to Ringo’s social welfare charity the Lotus Foundation.
Art by Ron Campbell will be included in the sale. |
Ron Campbell, director of the Beatles cartoon series and a main animator of Yellow Submarine,
will be on hand to demonstrate his technique and sell his own
Beatles-inspired art. But the pieces that fans are likely to be most
curious about are the reproductions of paintings and drawings by the
Beatles themselves.
Highlights include a hand-signed drawing by
John Lennon from his Bag One series; a signed lithograph of McCartney’s
1991 abstract acrylic on canvas, Big Mountain Face (the most expensive piece in the show, at $8,500); and three signed paintings by Starr: the self-portrait Red Bandana ($2,000), Bass Drum Paper ($1,200) and Front Peace Pocket ($1,200), which the shoe and clothing company Timberland used on the front pocket of one of its jackets.
Oct. 10-13 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Hard Rock Cafe, 2211 N. Houston St., Dallas.
