The Beatles as Painters
Manage episode 397402397 series 1912390
In the summer of 1966 the Beatles were in Japan, whirling through the first leg of what would be their final world tour. Hoping to forestall the dangerous excesses of Beatlemania, Japanese authorities confined the Fab Four to their hotel suite at Tokyo’s Hilton Hotel for almost the duration of their one-hundred-hour stay. Casting about for things to do, the Beatles fell to painting: each took upon himself to design one quadrant of an acrylic-and-watercolor artwork known as Images of a Woman, currently on offer from Christie’s as part of the auction house’s annual Exceptional Sale. The painting offers a novel look inside the collaborative practice of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, a story that Casey Rogers, senior vice president at Christie’s, elaborates on in this week's episode.
