Today John Lennon would have been 68!




To commemorate his lifelong message of peace and love, his widow and longtime creative partner Yoko Ono is exhibiting COME TOGETHER: A LOOK INTO JOHN LENNON’S LIFE THROUGH HIS ARTWORK, an internationally acclaimed, ever-changing exhibit of Lennon’s characteristic drawings, at the Open House Gallery ,New York. The exhibit will benefit City-Meals-On-Wheels, which funds 85 community-based agencies that bring weekend, holiday and emergency meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers who can no longer shop or cook for themselves (100% of all public donations go to the preparation and delivery of meals). Produced by Legacy Fine Art Productions, Come Together is the largest collection of Lennon’s works ever assembled and an exhibit that has travelled across the country and around the world for 15 years.



The exhibit features hand-signed pieces and limited edition prints, as well as serigraphs, lithographs, copper etchings and aqua tints, all of which are available for sale. Lennon’s inspiring and emotional sketches are also in the permanent collections of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the John Lennon Museum in Japan.
