About the Item
Very rare Limited Edition Serigraph of John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for the song "Imagine,"
first released on the LP of the same name in 1971. The best-selling single of his solo career, the lyrics encourage listeners to imagine a world of peace, without materialism, without borders This limited edition was released by Bag One Arts (The Lennon Estate) in 2000, and has been sold out from the publisher since 2005. Signature in the plate, numbered screenprinted reproduction of an original manuscript. There is only one available, (this is #156/1000) It is archivally framed as shown (outside dimensions 29" x 21") ; ready to hang and enjoy!
This serigraph was created from the original first draft of the handwritten lyric sheet, which was on NY Hilton stationary, and was so fresh that it doesn't have the chorus written out; just "8" to indicate the eight bar chorus he would add later. It was released by the Lennon Estate as a one time only edition of 1,000 plus Proofs.
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."
