On August 22, 1969, The Beatles gathered together at John Lennon’s home, Tittenhurst Park, for what would be their last photo shoot together before officially breaking up the following year. Included in the shoot were a group of sculptures (one of which had previously been depicted on the album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s” Lonely Hearts Club Band ). Images from this last shoot were later used on the album cover for Hey Jude (Apple, 1970). The sculpture offered here can be seen prominently featured on the right side of the album’s front cover wearing George Harrison’s black hat. It can also be seen in the opening of the film for John Lennon’s iconic single “Imagine” (Apple, 1971) and additionally in images from Lennon’s earlier home, Kenwood. The statue depicted opposite this one on the album cover is available as lot 361 in the present auction. Height, 21 inches Categories: Ringo Starr
