Bid
for this uniquely decorative piece
of Rock History, at eBay
This unique piece of original artwork by renowned designer Spencer Zahn has been offered for auction by Gary Brooker, the sale proceeds to go to the BJ Wilson Memorial Fund, and to continue the running of 'Beyond the Pale', the Procol Harum website.
The dimensions of the picture, measured by Gary himself, are 650 x 889 mm.
The artwork has been executed in charcoal on Rives BFK Elephant double weight paper. It has been fixed to prevent smudging.
We took two photographs of the Grand Hotel original: the first was taken out of doors at the Brooker residence on 26 October 2004; the second was taken indoors in Bristol on 8 November, with the addition of items to show the scale of the pictures: a yardstick and an apple.
The first set rather over-emphasises the slightly yellow tinge of the art paper; the second set has a blue tinge reflected from the cloth the pictures are propped against.
