Lot 102: Art From the Personal Collection of Ray Bradbury -- Likely by Famous Science Fiction Artist Hannes Bok

Ray Bradbury personally owned art, likely by early sci-fi fanzine artist Hannes Bok. Bradbury helped launch the career of Bok by promoting him at the first World Science Fiction Convention, where ''Weird Tales'' magazine picked up the unknown artist. Art depicts a woman in a red dress on a verdant hill being encircled by a vine. Figure and greenery contrast sharply with black background, characteristic of Bok. Hand-colored block print is unsigned. Matted and framed to an overall size of 15.5'' x 18.25''. Near fine. With a COA from the Ray Bradbury estate.
