A date for the diaries of the enthusiasts of Gerald Scarfe's incredible work for Pink Floyd on The Wall. In an upcoming auction at Sotheby's, no less than eight original Scarfe drawings are included in the sale, with six of the eight being Wall related. Sotheby's "Summer Miscellany" auction runs from July 28th - August 4th, and full sale details, with each drawing viewable in good detail, can be found at the website of Sothebys.com with the auction house recommending the use of Google Chrome for viewing their sales (although we found that other browsers seemed to work fine, but if you are intending to bid, it might be worth using Chrome to be on the safe side). The individual Scarfe lots are as follows: - Lot 148. SCARFE | Pink Floyd's "The Wall" - Teacher and Pink ("Wrong do it again!"), original drawing
- Lot 149. SCARFE | Pink Floyd's "The Wall" - Teacher, Wife, Mother and Pink, original drawing
