Four pieces of notebook paper on which <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Eric+Clapton&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eric Clapton</a> has hand drawn the conceptual artwork for his 1998 album Pilgrim. <ul><li>Sold as a set of 5: </li><li>Eric Clapton (English, born 1945).</li><li>The lot consists of one black and white sketch with additional notations, and three color sketches.</li><li>A copy of the album with the final artwork is included.</li></ul> After Clapton came up with the initial ideas, he commissioned Japanese artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, best known for his work on Nadia – The Secret Of Blue Water and Neon Genesis Evangelion, to create the album sleeve. Eric had become aware of Sadamoto not through his work on manga and anime but his 1993 art book Alpha. A copy of the CD that pictures Sadamoto’s final artwork on the front cover is included with the lot. The album was released on the 10th March 1998 on Reprise Records; it was Clapton’s first release since his 1989 album Journeyman. Pilgrim was one of Eric’s most successful commercially released albums, reaching the top in in twenty two countries. Once the album was completed, Eric’s original hand drawn conceptual artwork was passed to the graphic designer, Bogdan Zarkowski, who designed the concert program for Eric Clapton’s 1999 Pilgrim world tour and images taken from the artwork were reproduced in the program. A copy of the program is also included with this lot as well as a selection of paperwork relating to the production of the program.
