Bob Dylan's talent as an artist has resulted in great demand for his work from art lovers across the UK. A number of British galleries revealed that there has been huge interest in Bob Dylan prints whenever they have been exhibited to the public, which has often resulted in the musician's artwork being sold out. The Breeze, a small gallery in Peebles, Scotland was inundated with enquires about Bob Dylan prints when they displayed his work from the Drawn Blank exhibition in 2008, reported the BBC. Bob Corsie, owner of the gallery, told the BBC that Bob Dylan prints generated interest from a wide cross section of society. He said: "We have had visitors from all walks of life, not just art fans but Dylan fans in general." Over two thousand people visited The Breeze in the first week of the exhibition and the gallery sold out of all the 29 Bob Dylan prints it was originally given. Princes Square Castle Gallery in Glasgow also said that its Drawn Blank exhibition was a great success and claimed that it could have sold most Bob Dylan prints four times over. Bob Dylan prints have been on show in British galleries over the last few years and the popularity of the exhibitions has been due to the quality of the art on display, according to Andrew White. Mr White, the director of publishing at Washington Green Fine Art Publishing, told the Yorkshire Post that Bob Dylan prints can be appreciated as works of art by themselves despite the artists' reputation as a legendary musician. He told the newspaper: "When you see the exhibition and are surrounded by the work, it gives you a real feel of what Dylan is all about." Mr White went on to say that owning a Bob Dylan prints can give fans a deeper insight into the character and personality of the genius himself. He told the Post: "The response has been amazing. As I know only too well, people develop a fascination with Dylan and a chance to see his artwork is another piece of the jigsaw that helps you understand this extraordinary artist." Bob Dylan is looking forward to a busy summer as he is set to headline the Hop Farm Festival in Kent and organiser Vince Power has said that the American's appearance is likely to lead to all tickets being sold out on the day he performs.
