Bob Dylan's drafts for Mr Tambourine Man sell for more than £400k

Notes among 60 items associated with the singer auctioned off in Nashville

The lyrical drafts were among 60 items that were up for sale in the dedicated auction for the singer at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, with 50 pieces from the personal collection of American music journalist Al Aronowitz. The artwork, which depicts a figure in bold colours and a cubist style, was produced by the American songwriter at the beginning of his artistic endeavours after his first wife, Sara, gave him oil paints for his 27th birthday. Among the other high value lots was a 1983 Fender Telecaster electric guitar that was owned and played by Dylan before he gave it to famed amplifier technician and musician Cesar Diaz.
