Richard Clifton-Dey original art . . . CARLSBERG BEER Final offer on this original artwork created for a print ad for Carlsberg Beer, commissioned c. 1992 - likely for a UK or European advertising campaign. The British artist, Richard Clifton-dey, was may also be responsible for the more cartoon-like image that appears in the advertisement, in addition to the final art "comp" - or it could have been printed up to show the captioning text, how it would be appearing in print, with an overlay ("the best lager in the world")...in any event, the original art - without lettering - is far better painted than the "visual" that accompanied the artwork , as you can see...although the concept is the same. The painting is in gouache on illustration board, total dimensions 15" x 30" - a very large piece, and lots of fun for anyone who is a fan of beer ...this would make a terrific display when framed. The brand name "Carlsberg" in logotype is on the keg sitting behind the rowers...The color scheme and detailing is great, you will not be disappointed in this one! We have very few examples of Clifton-Dey's advertising art left, and we are pricing this to sell! We are the exclusive agents for the estate of Richard Clifton-Dey, who died in 1997. In our print catalogs, on our website, and in auctions on eBay, we continue to offer a wide variety of his vintage illustration art, spanning advertising, maritime and military action/adventure, science fiction, fantasy, romance, gothics and even westerns - all dating from the late 60s to early 80s. NOTE: as in many cases of artwork produced during this time frame for book covers, most artwork by Clifton-Dey is not signed. Provenance for all works not signed by the artist will be provided by the estate, in the case of book covers, by a label affixed to the back of artworks attesting that it is the work of Clifton-Dey, signed by his widow. Clifton-Dey was one of the most highly-respected of British illustrators during the 1970s and into the 1980s, and much of his work was for book covers, either for science fiction, fantasy, action-adventure war books, romances, or gothic horror (with some interesting forays into advertising) . Along with other well-known artists of his day (Jim Burns, Chris Foss and others), his work was featured in 'Heroic Dreams' (Paper Tiger UK 1987). I am choosing art of special interest, from the estate's inventory, to offer at auction on eBay. We have fewer than a dozen paintings less to offer....Make an offer on this one or snap it up at our now greatly reduced "buy it now" price...and get a bargain! I usually put up about 2-4 items per week, and try to stay to a Sunday to Sunday listing, so collectors can more easily follow my auctions. Please note, this an original artwork, not a reproduction, and no rights of reproduction accompany the sale. For items of this nature I ship priority mail with insurance optional starting at $1.65. Other options for shipping are Fedex, please ask. Overseas shipping is at cost - and depends on method, and destination. Inquire before bidding for your options. For these auctions I ask for MO/bankcheck or even personal check is ok, if we have done business before. Payment must be received within one week of auction close, however I am willing to combine shipments for winning bidders, so long as these fall within a two week period. Let me know if you are planning to do that. Please don't bid if you have negative or zero feedback without prior permission from me: things have not gone well when bidders have done that in the past. We also welcome you to visit our Worlds of Wonder website and browse our online gallery and catalogs of illustrative art - for many more choices! read more
