Item Description
See previous item #1428 for Gahan Wilson biography. Offered here is lot of four sheets (three w/attached vellum overlays), ranging in size from 4x6" to 4.75x7". Each features intricate pen and ink original art that has been watercolored. Art was commissioned by a Des Moines, IA advertising firm for Applied Communications Inc. (AOC, out of Omaha, NE), c. 1985 and this and the previous four lots were published in a brochure for financial advertising. Wilson's distinct style is on display in these pieces, which incorporates themes from other lots, including suspenders, remote control unit, ring of prison keys and skeleton in business suit who looks at his watch. Vellum overlays shows some scattered handling wear but all art remains clean and Exc. overall. Art comes from the art director in charge of this 1980s campaign, who saved the art. This is the first time this and the previous lots of Gahan Wilson art are being offered at auction.
