1968 The Beatles by Richard Avedon - Set of 4 Original Vintage Posters
About the Item
Some of the most iconic and sought after images of modern music and art. In 1967, the Beatles and their manager reached out to American photographer Richard Avedon to help create the psychedelic visualisation first realised musically in their most recent album at the time - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
These portraits of each band member: Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and John Lennon acted as a point of reference for other imagery of the era, perfectly capturing the zeitgeist of the 1960's. These pop art pieces are the versions distributed by Stern in Europe, and have been linen-backed to preserve the artwork in mint condition for decades to come. This is the full collection set of all 4 portraits together.

The shoot took place at a photography studio in a penthouse at Thompson House, 200 Gray's Inn Road, London, England. The American photographer took a number of shots of the group, four of which were later embellished with psychedelic effects. The posters were printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd of London/ The publisher's information appears in the lower right margin of each poster. One a side note, Avedon sold the copyrights of both the photos he took that day and his psychedelic embellishments, executed in post production, to NEMS Enterprises, Ltd. - a firm run by the Beatles music manager Brian Epstein. On Aug 27, 1967, sixteen days after Avedon’s Beatles photo session, Beatles manager Brian Epstein died from an overdose of Carbitol. The Beatles were shocked. By strange twist of fate, the Beatles were attending Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s meditation seminar at Bangor, North Wales. The guru they had just met in London became a substitute for their use of psychedelics and a cushion for their bereavement. Avedon, unknowingly to the Beatles, or even himself, had captured this true spiritual essence just weeks before. January 1968 was the initial concurrent publication of the Avedon photos...Category
