An exhibition of iron sculptures made by Dylan, who has sold more than 58 million albums around the world in a career that started in the folk scene of the early 1960s, will open later this year.

The American singer-songwriter has made seven iron gates out of bits of scrap and old tools. He said: “I’ve been around iron all my life ever since I was a kid. I was born and raised in iron ore country – where you could breathe it and smell it every day.”

The show, called Mood Swings, opens at the Halycon Gallery in New Bond Street, London, in November.
