This exhibition, which coincides with the recent digital release of the feature film documentary on Lennon and Pang “The Lost Weekend: A Love Story”, will provide fans a rare opportunity to see John Lennon in a new light, through the lens of someone who knew him intimately during one of the most creative periods of his life. She was Lennon’s lover during the infamous “Lost Weekend” which lasted 18 months during late 1973 through 1975. During this highly creative time for Lennon, she took candid photos of him in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
These rare photos will be on display and available to purchase for two days only.
During the Lost Weekend, with Pang’s help, Lennon had his most artistically and commercially productive period post-Beatles. Pang encouraged Lennon to reconnect with his family and his friends, which ultimately led to a reunion with Paul McCartney and a memorable jam session between the two Beatles. Pang also arranged for Julian Lennon to visit his father for the first time in almost three years. One of Pang’s photographs of Julian graces the cover of his latest album, titled “Jude.” . Other highlights of the exhibition include the only photograph that exists of John Lennon signing the contract to dissolve the Beatles, as well as one of the last known photographs of him and McCartney together. Both photographs have never been available to the public until now. Pang will be in attendance at BlackBird, meeting customers and telling stories behind these amazing limited-edition photographs.
5% of sales will be donated to BeLoved Asheville, in support of their hurricane relief efforts.
