Original Richard Chopping artwork for Ian Fleming`s Goldfinger novel for auction

01-Jul-2005 • Collecting

An original proof from artist's Richard Chopping's work for the Ian Fleming novel "Goldfinger" is up for auction on Ebay.

The artwork is a proof created by Chopping for Fleming's James Bond novel.

Measuring 18½ in x 22½ inches, the piece is also signed by Chopping. Only a few pieces are in existance, making this a very rare collectible for literary fans.

Bidding starts at £2,250.

Artist Richard Chopping was so disgruntled with his experience working for Fleming and the whole James Bond saga that he auctioned off all of his remaining pieces a few years ago.

Thanks to `JP` for the alert.
