The Gerald Scarfe Pink Floyd “The Wall” Collection of Rare Artwork, Memorabilia, Concert and Original Film Pieces
I am very excited to offer the entire Gerald Scarfe, Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” collection of original artwork, artifacts and memorabilia. This incredible archive of original Wall items contains 3,000-plus items including drawings, sketches, paintings, storyboards, memorabilia, animation cels, stage props, original movie scripts and more. Gerald Scarfe is the artist who teamed up with Roger Waters and the rest of the band in 1979 to create the ground breaking concept art for The Wall album, tour and then the movie that followed in 1982.
To give you an idea of the recent achieved value of The Wall memorabilia, the original painting for The Wall movie poster sold by SFAE in 2017 for $1.85 million, the highest price ever paid for original art of rock and roll. An incredible sale but it shows the power and desirability of original Wall items. These really are the holy grail of any rock collection and these 3000+ pieces have never before been made available for sale to the public.
The San Francisco Art Exchange (SFAE) has been tasked by the artist to sell this entire rare collection. SFAE has asked me to offer this very rare collection to a limited number of my collectors.
The Gerald Scarfe Pink Floyd The Wall Collection includes:
- A large number of Scarfe’s sketches, watercolours and drawings covering everything from private sketches of the band, through to concept and preparatory drawings for The Wall to the final artwork. This also includes some early ideas for The Wall that were not progressed and versions of characters that were substantially developed during the course of the project, providing a rare opportunity to see work-in- progress
