An exhibition of unique photographs of the Beatles and
other music world legends by Nancy Lee Andrews and May Pang entitled "John
Lennon and Ringo Starr: A Time Remembered" will be presented at the June
Kelly Gallery from June 12 to 17, 2008.
The photographs by Andrews, who was Ringo Starr's former
fiancé, and May Pang, John Lennon's long-time companion, have never been
publicly exhibited before. They have recently been published in books by
each of the two photographers, and both the photographs and the books will
be on sale at the gallery.
Andrews, a former Ford model-turned photographer in the
1970s, met and photographed many pop and rock icons during her relationship
of more than six years with Ringo Starr. Andrews met Starr through Lennon
who introduced them in 1974. The photographs, taken over a decade starting
in 1970, reflect her personal experiences at the peak of pop culture
history.
Pang's intimate photographs of her life with John Lennon
offer an unguarded look at the happy and productive time Lennon spent with
her. The nine vibrant images reveal a joyful and creatively active Lennon,
and correct the misinformation about a period that has been known in Beatle
lore as "Lennon's Lost Weekend."
The gallery will be closed on Sunday, June 15, but will
be open on Monday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
