Will Eisner Art: The Building (1987) pg 33 Lot of 2 * NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE *
Price: $1,750.00
Sold Art
WILL EISNER (1917-2005) • The Building
(1987) Page
33 (lot of 2)
“From then on
things began to change” Gilda and Benny, in
this 33rd page from The Building.
Each is picking up hints about the other’s affair. This
lot includes two Eisner
originals: the inked published page, and the
corresponding preliminary pencil drawing, showing how
Will followed through on his first conception.
Medium/Size/Condition:
The final inked page is drawn with brush, pen and
ink on 11 x 14-inch Bristol board, with considerable
“bleed” on the edges that would have been trimmed off in
the printed book.
The blue and black pencil preliminary is drawn on
lightweight white paper 6.25 x 9.5 inches. Note that
Eisner’s pencil rough indicates he was going to head the
page, “Soon it became more noticeable,” but decided such
lettering would be superfluous in the final rendering.
Both originals are in excellent condition.
Price:
$1,750 for
the 2-piece lot
