When the John Lennon art exhibit came to New York city in Soho New York on 76 Greene st it was one of the most amazing & one of a kind art shows people had ever seen. The event was held on the weekend of 12/6 – 12/9. As a reporter I covered the Montclair NJ show in 2004 which was held at the site of former Screening Zone.

He attended the prestigious Liverpool Art Institute for three years (1957-1960) before the Beatles became a full-time occupation. He continued to draw throughout his life. John Lennon’s primary medium was line drawing either in pen, pencil, or Japanese sumi ink. His drawings became illustrations for three best selling books that he wrote in the 60’s. In addition, a complete suite of the “Bag One” portfolio of lithographs is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His original drawings are also being collected by museums …
