Description

Full image available upon request. Desirable limited edition 29.75 x 23 lithograph print from the Bag One series entitled ‘Menage a Trois,’ numbered 144/300, signed prominently in pencil by John Lennon. Professionally cleaned, backed, and in fine condition, with slightly irregular faint toning, and clear tape along the back edges.

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.
