Got a spare £2k? Artwork by Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood goes on sale in Leeds
Wood, who is a prolific painter, has made his ‘Private Collection’ available to the public for the first time.
The pieces, all signed by the star, provide an insight into the world of the Rolling Stones, and show the band on stage and in the studio, as seen through the eyes of guitarist Wood.

The pieces will be available to buy from Castle Fine Art, on Albion Place, Leeds, from today.
Gallery manager Roy Pritchard said: “Ronnie Wood and his fellow Stones band members continue to draw the crowds – the band’s popularity is only growing with their hugely successful 2016 AMÉRICA LATINA OLÉ tour, and the recently opened ‘Exhibitionism’ at the Saatchi Gallery.
“Castle Fine Art is offering the public the chance to own their very own piece of rock and roll history with this new collection of works from Ronnie Wood’s personal archive, all hand-signed by the artist himself.

The paintings include Flatbed ’75 - 30 Year Anniversary, where Wood documents one of the most famous moments in rock and roll history. As the world’s press gathered in a New York City hotel in anticipation of the announcement of the band’s upcoming Tour of the Americas ‘75, The Rolling Stones made their tour announcement in true rock and roll fashion by performing Brown Sugar live on a the back of a flatbed truck as it drove down Fifth Avenue, scattering tour date flyers as they went.
Prices for the individual works start from £2,250.
