Description
Carl Barks Wanderers of Wonderlands Painting Original Art (1981). This gorgeous oil painting of Scrooge and the boys examining the riches found amidst ancient ruins (while various Beagle Boys, Harpies, and Magica De Spell watch on), is one of the most important Duck paintings Barks ever produced.

Upon his retirement, Barks had asked for and received permission to produce a series of paintings based on his covers and stories. After a fan issued a few prints of Barks paintings without Disney's permission, Carl lost his rights to the Ducks, and it took the urging of several notable megafans to get them to reverse that decision. This piece was his first done after Disney relented, and was used as an exclusive print included in the deluxe book, Uncle Scrooge McDuck: His Life and Times. That book is considered a breakthrough of its kind, and was reviewed by Time and Newsweek.

The painting is a true treasure, filled with rich detail and sumptuous color. The image area measures approximately 15.5" x 19.5" on canvasboard, beautifully displayed in an ornate gold frame. The art is in Excellent condition, and will surely be the crowning piece to any serious Barks collection.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:92122
