A new 2021 recording of Blowin’ in the Wind Bob Dylan was awarded this Thursday for 1.48 million pounds (1.76 million dollars, 1.73 million euros) at Christie’s auction house in London, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the iconic song. It is the first studio recording since 1962 that Dylan makes of the song, which originally belongs to his second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylanand became one of the symbols of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
In 2021 the singer-songwriter went back into the studio to record a new version on vinyl with multi-Grammy and Oscar award-winning producer and songwriter Joseph Henry T Bone Burnett III, using his patented technology for the first time. “60 years after he wrote and recorded Blowin’ in the Wind, Bob Dylan offers a new recording of his song; one that is profoundly relevant to our times and that has played out over decades of the artist’s life and experience.” From Christie’s, they were “excited” to be able to offer this “unique recording”, according to one of the bidding house specialists, Peter Klarnet, who defined the song as “one of the most important of the last century”.
In the same auction, a Stradivarius violin was left without a buyer Hellier made in 1679 by the famous luthier Antonio Stradivari. The instrument is distinguished by particular inlays that outline its silhouette, a fact that makes it “one of only 11 ornate and inlaid violins” by the Cremona master, according to Christie’s specialist Florian Leonhard. “It comes from the initial period of Stradivari and was made in 1679 with already very mature design characteristics, such as its large model and its embroidery with bold elements and a flat, wide bow,” he told Efe.
The sculpture was also offered to the highest bidder. Recumbent Magdalene by Antonio Canova and other works by great artists such as the Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder, the Flemish painter Anton Van Dyck and the Englishman William Turner, known as “the painter of light”.
