"Scarfe on The Wall" Pink Floyd Limited Edition Signed Book signed by Roger Waters and Gerald Scarfe

$2,399.00

In the run-up to the 30th anniversary celebrations of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" next year, Pink Floyd's artist Gerald Scarfe and Roger Waters have produced a stunning limited edition hand-signed and numbered box set oversized book.

"Scarfe On The Wall" is a highly desirable collaboration between the artist Gerald Scarfe, who recently was appointed CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours, and Roger Waters.

With just 300 copies produced, this set is bound to be popular with the serious Floyd collectors, with Scarfe collectors, and with special edition book collectors alike. As the details below reveal, it is an edition certainly worth getting if you can afford it...

The limited edition print box set contains eight exhibition-quality artist prints of Gerald Scarfe's images for the multi-platinum selling album, The Wall, individually selected by Gerald and Roger, and individually signed by Gerald. This set of prints includes two newly commissioned artworks by Scarfe revisiting The Wall imagery two and a half decades after the iconic album was first launched.

The box set also contains a 32pp large format, lavishly illustrated companion monologue that has been hand-signed by Roger Waters.

This beautifully produced publication contains many early illustrations and working drawings for The Wall, as well as a rare interview with Gerald discussing his body of work with Pink Floyd.

The book itself is fascinating. Gerald explains about his childhood, and how his upbringing and early experiences had a bearing on what the future was to bring for him professionally. He talks of how his relationship with the band had its seeds in seeing them at UFO in London, which lead to his work with them on the 1974 UK Winter tour.

He discusses in detail how the Wall project developed, with Roger initially wanting to work on the concept with Gerald, not necessarily seeing it as a band project. It was Gerald who suggested turning it into an album, then a show, then a film.

The trials and tribulations of working with the various parties to get the movie done are covered in detail, with Gerald revealing just how close his relationship with the band members became.

From a strictly limited, numbered edition of only 300 volumes total.

Items such as this box set normally have a good investment potential, as seen by some of the other special edition Pink Floyd related books and packages over the last few years (such as the Syd Barrett-signed Psychedelic Renegades, and Nick Mason's Inside Out box set, both of which were created by Genesis Publications).

Act fast to secure your copy, before they all disappear. We've a feeling that very few of these will reappear in the years to come...

The Autograph Source is proud to be one of a very select number of dealers selling this beautiful piece.
