Jim Dine's Unused Art for an Unreleased Beatles Album

These five pieces were auctioned at Bonhams in November 2024 for $25,600.

The five works called Untitled (John, Paul, George, Ringo and The Beatles) are graphite and watercolor on vellum and depict group and individual toothbrushes labeled for each member of the iconic band.

Each item is signed and dated 'Jim Dine 1968' in the lower left corner.

The connection with Dine is obviously through Robert Fraser, who was a friend to Dine and showed many of his works at the Robert Fraser Gallery. Another instance of Fraser connecting "his" artists to the Beatles, as he'd done with Michael Cooper, Peter Blake, and Richard Hamilton.

More information on this project, from Bonhams catalog, below the cut:

Made for an approved, but ultimately unrealized Beatles multi-album project in 1968, the present lot is an extraordinary piece of art and music history. Created by one of the 20th century's most iconic artists for the 20th century's most famous music group, these works were created for a 4-album (LP) compilation set of previously released Beatles songs, as suggested by their US manufacturer and distributor, Capitol Records. One of the five artworks (John, Paul, George, and Ringo) was to be the cover art for the 4-LP jacket, and the other four individually named artworks were to decorate and identify each individual album sleeve within the set. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were each to select their own favorite Beatles tracks, adding spoken dialogue as to why they considered each selection a favorite. Executed during a transitionary time in the group's history, the project did not move forward despite its public announcement and press coverage. Former President of Capitol Records, Salvatore Iannucci, purchased the artworks from the company in 1973 and they remained in his collection for nearly 40 years. Much like the Beatles, Jim Dine's rise to fame was stellar with incredible visibility, particularly in the 1960s. Dine's celebrity and ambivalent relationship with Pop Art solidified the artist as the perfect choice to execute the images for one of the most exciting Beatles projects to date. In each composition, Dine juxtaposes stardom with an intimate and everyday ritual, in turn obscuring the boundary between the extraordinary and the ordinary yielding a twofold effect: one that delineates the Beatles' significance as a household name (made clear by the use of only the group's first names assigned to each toothbrush); and another which humanizes the Beatles' stardom by associating it with the quotidian. Yet, the unifying force between these two ends is the idea of ritual, which in itself is a fundamental tenant of Dine's own artistic process.

Acquired from the artist through the Robert Fraiser Gallery, London as a commission for an approved but unrealized Beatles album project.

Side note: I'd never heard about this project before. Imagine getting 1968 Beatles to sit down and talk about their favorite Beatles tracks!
