Bob Dylan painting from his Woodstock years up for auction - and rare artwork is expected to fetch six figures


More than half a century after Bob Dylan exchanged the piece for an astrology chart at Woodstock, a rare painting by the folk legend from his early years is up for auction for the first time

'Sandy was not only one of the most beautiful women in Woodstock at a time when there were many; she was a mystic, a channeler, a reader of stars, and maker of astrology charts for her friends,' wrote Anne-Margaret Daniel in Hot Press. Sandy's friend Shelby Scherman Willer recalled, 'Although Dylan is technically a Gemini, he was born in the month of May, so with his early understanding of astrology it is my opinion that he may have thought himself to be a Taurus – the Bull represented in the painting.' In addition to his seminal music, Dylan is an established visual artist, showing his work in major art galleries around the world and releasing multiple books of his painting and drawings.
