The complete collection of John's artwork is coming to London and will include a number from Yoko Ono's private collection. The collection dates from 1968 up to John's death 25 years ago.
There are many pieces from the Real Love book, which were created in the Dakota Building when his son, Sean, was a baby. The exhibition shows John's relationship with Yoko Ono and his attitude towards everyday life and his great sense of humour. John Lennon was one of the most imaginative thinkers of our time. Even before he was a Beatle, he was a poet, musician and artist. Art was John's first love. He began drawing long before he owned a guitar, attending the Liverpool School of Art in 1957-1960 and he continued to draw throughout his life.
The limited edition artwork in this exhibition consists of lithographs, serigraphs and copper etchings hand produced from the original drawings. His primary medium was line drawing, either in pen,pencil or Japanese sumi ink.
All works are signed by Yoko Ono with John's personal chop and are available for sale.
