Description
John Lennon / Bag One catalog of erotic lithographs shown at the Lee Nordness Galleries, NY in 1970. John Lennon's suite of lithographs, created to chronicle his wedding to Yoko and their honeymoon, was first exhibited at the London Arts Gallery, 22 New Bond Street, London, on 15th January 1970. The exhibition was scheduled to last for two weeks but on the second day, apparently after complaints, the gallery was raided by the police, on the basis that the gallery had exhibited 'to public view eight indecent prints to the annoyance of passengers, contrary to Section 54(12) of the Metropolitan Police Act, 1839, and the third schedule of the Criminal Justice Act 1967'. The case came to court at the end of the following April, at the Marlborough Street Magistrates' Court. However, the magistrate, Mr. St.John Harmsworth, threw the case out, deciding that the erotic images were '.unlikely to deprave or corrupt.' (Bonhams Auctions), 11" x 8.5".
