RANDOM HOUSE WORD PUZZLES ORIGINAL ART BY KEN BARR
Manage episode 380403778 series 2640359
What happens when four vintage art fans decide to pool their resources to bid for 29 pieces of original Star Wars artwork in a high profile auction?
Craig and Kimberley are joined by Will and Robin Arnold – not only to discuss Propstore, art collector William Plumb and artist Ken Barr – but to sit and review each piece ‘in person’ for the first time.
These hand drawn originals, including characters, vehicles and scenarios from the first three movies, were created to illustrate Random House’s 1984 'Star Wars Word Puzzles' book, and make for a quirky, yet stunning spread of images.
If you think some of these big auction lots are out of your reach, this story might make you think again.
