Bob Dylan's rare abstract painting from Woodstock years sells for nearly 200K at auction... after he traded it for an astrology chart


An abstract painting by Bob Dylan, created around 1968, recently sold for an eye-popping sum. A lucky collector was able to purchase the artwork for a whopping $196,156 at RR Auction.

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. The film also stars Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash.
