Bob Dylan Accused Of Plagiarism

His new art exhibition apparently resembles the work of other artists

Published 29th Sep 2011

NME reports that the accusation relates to his Asia Series exhibition, which opened at the Gagosian Gallery in New York last week.

The series of 18 works was created during his tour of the continent in 2009 and 2010 and apparently it features works that mimic photographic images taken by the likes of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dmitri Kessel and Léon Busy.

Since its opening on 20 September visitors have been commenting on the similarities between Dylan's paintings and a host of classic photos.

The exhibition is due to run until 22 October in New York.

We're not passing judgement but there's definitely a similarity between some of the paintings and some pretty famous photos - see for yourself HERE
