Lost Photographs of The Beatles
Past exhibition
Overview
Lost Photographs of The Beatles: developed from original negatives for a new exhibition at Shapero Modern in Mayfair.
Thursday 9th December 2021– Sunday 16th January 2022
Incredibly rare and never before seen, new photographs of the internationally renowned rock band The Beatles will be on show in Mayfairʼs Shapero Modern this December. These lost photographs were taken on the set of the bandʼs first film A Hard Dayʼs Night by Lord Christopher Thynne (1934 – 2017).
The negatives remained undeveloped for fifty-seven years but now these re-discovered photographs will re-invigorate Beatlemania.
Each of the developed prints is available in two sizes but strictly limited to thirty-five of each.
This exhibition at Shapero Modern will not only highlight the tantalising rarity of the photographs, but will also reveal the moments Thynne found himself through photography, whilst also shedding light on The Beatlesʼ quieter moments between the international adoration.
Shapero Modern is a Mayfair-based contemporary and modern art gallery, specialising in limited edition prints and works on paper. A rare and interesting stock is for sale at the Mayfair gallery, with five curated exhibitions per year, focusing on topical themes from the collection.
