Lot 103: Pair of Hannes Bok Drawings From the Personal Collection of Ray Bradbury -- Studies for Bok's Well-Known Piece ''Woman Dancing''

Ray Bradbury personally owned art by early sci-fi fanzine artist Hannes Bok, whose career Bradbury helped launch. Bradbury and Bok became acquainted in 1937; an outspoken admirer of Bok's art, Bradbury actively promoted him at the first World Science Fiction Convention, and ''Weird Tales'' magazine picked up the unknown artist. Pair of graphite and ink drawings of a nude female figure in flowing robes are studies for Bok's drawing titled, ''Woman Dancing'', which sold in 2011 for $3,884. Both pieces are matted and framed to an overall size of 10.25'' x 13.5''. Near fine. With a COA from the Ray Bradbury estate.
