Dylan to display artwork in Germany

Veteran rocker Bob Dylan will display a collection of his artworks at a museum in Germany later this year.

The exhibition, called The Drawn Blank Series, will display several sketches from a book created by the singer between 1989 and 1992.

Dylan claims he was approached by Ingrid Moessinger, a curator of the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz museum, in east Germany, to showcase his work to the public.

He says: "I was fascinated to learn of Ingrid's interest in my work, and it gave me the impetus to realise the vision I had for these drawings many years ago."

"If not for this interest, I don't know if I even would have revisited them."

Dylan's work will be displayed alongside the creations of European masters including Picasso, Munch and Toulouse-Lautrec until February 2008.
