Item Description
See previous item for Gahan Wilson biography. Offered here is 9.25x17-5/8" sheet (in a size larger than Gahan typically worked) w/two-piece vellum overlay attached at center w/tape. Sheet features intricate pen and ink original art that has been watercolored. Art was commissioned by a Des Moines, IA advertising firm for Applied Communications Inc. (AOC, out of Omaha, NE), c. 1985 and this and following three lots were published in a brochure for financial advertising. Wilson's distinct style is on display in this piece, which shows busy scene w/loan manager seated at desk w/"Consumer Loans" placard on it while bkg. shows customers locked in iron cages or wooden stocks, suggesting said loans act as form of imprisonment. Lower right has been boldly signed in black ink by Wilson. Typical rippling to paper from watercoloring but Exc. overall. Art comes from the art director in charge of this 1980s campaign, who saved the art. This is the first time this and the previous/following lots of Gahan Wilson art are being offered at auction.
