We had a great night last week at north London’s Camden Art Centre celebrating the work of Barney Bubbles with a mini-exhibition of his work in two vitrines, book signings, a playlist of Bubbles-designed music and an in-conversation between monograph author Paul Gorman and printmaker and artist Annie Nicholson aka The Fandangoe Kid.
We’re excited to announce the new range of bookmarks and postcards as well as a sticker for the Barney Bubbles Shop.
++ The seven postcards each measure 10.5 x 15cm ++
++ This 1977 felt tip on paper sketch for the debut album by The Damned together with the stickered limited edition LP fetched £6,120 ++
The first-time sale of original artworks by Barney Bubbles in yesterday’s Bonhams auction achieved close to £20,000 in total, with one item – the original design for The Damned’s 1977 debut album – scoring a winning bid in excess of £6,000.
Auction house Bonhams’ sale of ultra-rare and collectible original artworks by Barney Bubbles ends tomorrow at 12noon BST (British Summer Time).
++ Artwork for a poster for a 1979 Christmas concert at Birmingham International Arena. Barney Bubbles playfully inserted the name of his friend Cynthia Lole as the promoter ++
