But it\u2019s really a kind of sneaky way to show what the archive truly is \u2014 something that showcases what a truly multifaceted artist Bob Dylan is,\u201d Michael Chaiken, the curator of the Bob Dylan Archives, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tulsaworld.com\/entertainment\/first-major-exhibit-from-bob-dylan-archives-opens-may-at\/article_616321e9-6692-5607-887f-b4f8d2f8471d.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told <em>Tulsa World<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s best known for his music, but Dylan is also a writer of prose, a filmmaker, and someone who has been involved in the visual arts for decades. This show is an opportunity to explore all those different avenues of Dylan\u2019s creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The portraits in \u201cFace Value and Beyond\u201d previously exhibited in London in 2013 and Kent State University in Ohio in 2016 before they were purchased by an Arizona couple who loaned the works to the Tulsa museum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne reason why this exhibit could only be done is Tulsa is that we have, with the archive, a wealth of supporting material,\u201d Chaiken added. \u201cWhen the \u2018Face Value\u2019 portraits have been shown before, there was no material that gave the portraits any real context. But here we\u2019re able to highlight the fact that there is a precedent for those portraits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chaiken added the exhibit would also feature \u201cdrawings and sketchbooks that have never been shown before,\u201d as well as items culled from the Archives: Handwritten lyrics to some of Dylan\u2019s greatest songs, screen tests filmed by Andy Warhol and the leather jacket Dylan wore the night he went \u201celectric\u201d at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival will also display.<\/p>\n<p>The Gilcrease Museum will exhibit \u201cBob Dylan: Face Value and Beyond\u201d from May 10th to September 15th.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bob-dylan-exhibit-portraits-tulsa-museum-815792\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Dylan\u2019s artwork and handwritten song lyrics will exhibit at a Tulsa, Oklahoma art museum beginning in May.
