JOHN LENNON
THE NEW YORK
YEARS

Multimedia Touring Exhibition

by Bob Gruen

The Music Photo Gallery is excited to present the Official Multimedia Touring Exhibition, "John Lennon: The New York Years," by Bob Gruen, the iconic Rock and Roll photographer of all time. Through Gruen's lens, this exhibition delves into the lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during the 1970s, providing an intimate glimpse into the heart of New York City during the formative stages of a movement that would go on to define an entire generation and reshape the world for generations to come.

This extraordinary exhibition encapsulates the most captivating facets of John and Yoko's relationship, highlighting Lennon's roles as a devoted father, a former Beatle, and a rockstar at the pinnacle of his fame. It showcases not only his band, concerts, and parties, but also moments of intimacy and repose, painting a comprehensive portrait of the man behind the global icon. The exhibition offers a rare perspective on John Lennon's personal side, a "behind-the-scenes" viewpoint that only a close friend like Gruen could have immortalized.

At its core, this exhibition aims to propagate the timeless message of "Peace and Love" to a wide audience, both in the present and in the days to come. Through this showcase, we aspire to ignite the spirits of current and future generations with the very ideals that John Lennon and Yoko Ono fervently championed. We hope to galvanize individuals to pursue their aspirations, advocate for transformative change, and actively strive for a brighter world.

A Record Exhibition in South América

New York rock photographer Bob Gruen’s show “The John Lennon Exhibition” brought in a whopping 400,000 visitors over a three-week run in Buenos Aires at the Recoleta Cultural Center. The show, which wrapped up yesterday, coincided with a Spanish-language edition of Gruen’s book, “John Lennon: The New York Years” — which has already been published in English, Japanese, German and French. Gruen flew to Argentina for the show’s opening festivities,

and even handled DJ duties at an after-party. The shutterbug, who’s also shot Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and Joe Strummer, had served as Lennon’s personal photographer during the former Beatle’s New York years, including taking the iconic photos of Lennon

in an NYC T-shirt plus the first-ever babypictures of son Sean Lennon.
