Description

The winner will receive this Woody Allen Artist Proof.


An original artist's proof for Woody Allen's 1979 album Standup Comic. This album is an example of Allen's standup act in which he developed a neurotic, nervous, and intellectual persona, a successful move which secured regular gigs for him in nightclubs and on television. Allen brought innovation to the comedy monologue genre and his stand-up comedy is considered influential


 


In a world of digital downloads, the art of the album cover has been lost. But from the 1950s to the 1980s, album cover art was both a marketing tool and an expression of artistic intent.


 


The artist's proofs were typically destroyed once the album went to print. However, a few were salvaged and now considered to be collectors items. They are truly one-of-a-kind.
