The book is a real feast for all
Floyd fans, due to his extensive work with the band, over the years,
featuring a few illustrations from The Wall which haven't been seen
before - alongside the five decades of incredibly varied work he has
done for all sorts of people and publications.
We recently interviewed him, and
should be bringing you the transcript shortly, along with a review of
his new book. In the meantime, a number of new events have been lined
up:
- Wednesday 23rd November: book signing and illustrated talk at Warwick Books. 7pm
- Thursday 24th November: book signing and illustrated talk at Borders, Oxford Street, London. 6.30pm
- Thursday 24th November: special screening at the National Portrait
Gallery, London. 7pm. A chance to see SCARFE ON SCARFE - THE SELF
PORTRAIT (BBC, Arena, 1986). A unique opportunity to see Gerald Scarfe
and filmmaker Anthony Wall introduce their BAFTA award-winning film.
This documentary has been buried in the BBC archives for years so catch
this rare outing. Anthony Wall will introduce the film and will answer
questions with Gerald Scarfe afterwards. For more details visit: www.artistsonfilm.co.uk and www.npg.org.uk
We had the pleasure of attending one
of Gerald's illustrated talks in London, last year, and another this
month in Brighton, and both were fascinating and amusing looks at his
career, including his work with Pink Floyd. Definitely worth going to
one of these, if you can.
Orders for this essential title, at time of writing at a good discount, can be placed through the following special links: Amazon.com (US/International), Amazon UK/Elsewhere, Canada, France, or Germany.
