John Lennon in New York: Bob Gruen’s Unique Perspective

At The Music Photo Gallery, we present an exclusive collection of photographs of John Lennon, taken by Bob Gruen—one of the few photographers with privileged access to the legendary musician and his life with Yoko Ono during their ten years in New York.

Since 2017, The Music Photo Gallery has been working on Bob Gruen’s archive, exploring negatives, contact sheets, color slides, artist proofs, and vintage material to curate different bodies of work. These collections have been exhibited in renowned institutions worldwide, including the Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS-SP) in São Paulo in 2021 [lennon-nyc.com]

As Lennon’s photographerGruen captured both intimate and iconic moments, revealing the genius behind the artist and his deep connection to the city that shaped him. These images immortalize one of the most influential musicians of all time and reflect the trust he shared with the man behind the camera.

Own a unique piece from this collection and take with you a part of music and photography history.
