Gagosian to Present Signed Photographs from Paul's Personal Archive

⁠April 25 – June 21, 2025
⁠Gagosian Beverly Hills
⁠456 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills
⁠
⁠Gagosian is pleased to announce an exhibition of recently rediscovered photographs by Paul - including some previously unseen - for sale at its gallery in Beverly Hills. Featuring thirty-six works composed of images taken between December 1963 and February 1964, it offers an indelible snapshot of 'Beatlemania' as it was becoming a global phenomenon.

Paul has collaborated with Gagosian to produce the prints in small editions and has signed each one. Incorporating pictures shot in Liverpool; London; Paris; New York; Washington, DC; and Miami, the exhibition is on view from April 25 to June 21, 2025. A portion of sale proceeds will be donated to support ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts in Southern California following the recent devastating wildfires.

Evoking a key interval in twentieth-century cultural history, the photographs embody a poignant intersection of time, place, and personality. The mix of black-and-white and color prints includes self-portraits, unguarded portraits of Paul’s bandmates, and views of the pandemonium that greeted them at every turn.

The exhibition in Beverly Hills is designed by Stefan Beckman, who previously worked with the gallery on exhibition designs for Avedon 100 at Gagosian New York (2023) and Jean-Michel Basquiat: Made on Market Street at Gagosian Beverly Hills (2024). It coincides with the touring exhibition Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm, which debuted at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2023 and will open at the de Young Museum in San Francisco on March 1, 2025.
