Description

Desirable limited edition 30 x 22.75 lithograph from John Lennon's 'Bag One' series of erotic drawings showing John and Yoko Ono together in an intimate ménage à trois, numbered 257/300, prominently signed in the lower right corner in pencil, "John Lennon." Mounted to an overall size of 36 x 29. In fine condition.

In 1969, as a wedding gift for Yoko, John drew the 'Bag One Portfolio'—a chronicle of their wedding ceremony, honeymoon, and their plea for world peace in the Bed-In. The following year the artwork was produced in a series of 300 portfolios of 15 signed prints each. The majority depict John and Yoko's most intimate, private moments—upon their first exhibition in London, more than half were deemed 'indecent' and confiscated by Scotland Yard. The complete set of Bag One lithographs is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
