About the Item

Rare Limited Edition Serigraph of John Lennon's "He Tried To Consult The Stars" originally drawn in 1977, this limited edition was released by Bag One Arts (The Lennon Estate) in 2010 and has been sold out from the publisher since 2016. This is a unique drawing; the only one ever released that has John with a guitar! Signature in the plate, numbered screenprinted reproduction of an original drawing. The price is unframed; adding archival framing would add $250 plus $100 more to ship. This is #110/300, signed in pencil by Yoko Ono Lennon, and has John's personal "chop" hand stamped in red on the serigraph as well. It also comes with the original Bag One Arts certificate of authenticity. There is only one available. John Lennon (1940 - 1980) was a contemporary musician, song writer, poet, philosopher and artist, whose message across all professions, was peace and harmony. Long before he was a celebrated musician with The Beatles, Lennon was studying his first love at the esteemed Liverpool Art Institute. He focused on line drawing, using sumi ink or a pen to create beautiful line illustrations. Lennon illustrated his 3 best selling books that were published in the 1960s. Today his whimsical expressions of humanity are enjoyed by many critics and collectors alike as they are display in institutions such as the The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Art was another way for Lennon to express the wit, wisdom, and whimsey that made him one of the most important cultural figures of our time. As John once said, "If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life, and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness."
