EXHIBITIONS |
Starting in Seattle, Wa.,from 20 November 2004 - September 5 2005 at the Experience Music Project, BOB DYLAN'S AMERICAN JOURNEY, 1956-1966 is the first comprehensive exhibition devoted to Bob Dylan's early career, and examines the critical ten-year period that coincides with Dylan's transformation from folk troubadour to rock innovator during a momentous, turbulent period of American history.
Then, the exhibition moved to New York (September 29 2006 - January 6, 2007 The Morgan Library & Museum), Minneapolis (February 3 through April 29, 2007, The Weisman Art Museum) and Los Angeles (January-February 2008, Skirball Center).
The exhibition includes original typed and handwritten lyrics, rarely seen photographs, concert and television footage, posters and handbills of Dylan's early performances in New York, and other artifacts. Several Dylan manuscripts and typescripts of lyrics from a selection of more than ninety songs given to The Morgan Library & Museum in the late 1990s by collector George Hecksher will also be on view. These include such well-known songs as Blowin' in the Wind, It's Alright, Ma, Masters of War, Ballad in Plain D, and Gates of Eden.
