Self-portrait by John.Auction at Dreweatts&Bloomsbury |
Dating
from 1970 a previously unpublished self-portrait by John Lennon, one of
two sketched for the book Grapefruit, written by Yoko Ono, was sold
together with a portrait of Yoko and the famous manuscript text that was
used as the introduction for the book. It realised £19,220.
The
ink on paper drawings and the text which reads: ‘Hi my name is John
Lennon/ I’d like you to meet Yoko Ono,’ achieved a great deal of
pre-sale interest from Beatles memorabilia aficionados and was bought by
a UK private collector. [Lot 140].

“I
believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I
believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe
that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right.
It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”John Lennon.
