Barry Sheene signed print
AUT-BS-20

A rare to find print by the artist Dion Pears* (1929-1985) of Barry Sheene on the 1980 Akai Texaco Yamaha TZ 750, clearly signed in pencil by Barry Sheene.

These prints were amongst a batch of 8000 various prints bought at auction about 28 years ago when Quorn Fine Arts ceased trading, whereby they had paid the personalities, in this case Barry Sheene to sign them. There was about 100 signed by Sheene and about 600 un-signed. Since then, they have been kept in storage.

This is one of three prints that we have acquired and currently have for sale.

Size: 20inch x 15inch, Image size 16.5inch x 11inch. Condition: Very Good.

Comes complete with COA.

DION PEARS born 1st August 1929 at Richmond, Surrey. His grandfather was Charles Pears, the famous marine painter, who was president of the Society of Marine Artists. His first commission was to paint a Renault car famous for its success in the 1950 Monte Carlo Rally. Within months Pears was an established professional painter. Acknowledged as one of the world’s foremost motor artists, he was commissioned by many of motor racing’s celebrities such as Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, John Surtees and the late Graham Hill. Pears was not purely a painter of things modern and high speed.
