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 ++
| Welcome to the online celebration of the late graphic genius Barney Bubbles, spanning his extraordinary designs for music, including record sleeves, posters, advertising and ephemera, as well as art direction of books, the underground press and music magazines and his landmark promo videos, private paintings and furniture pieces. |
