A large poster size original drawing featuring two large caricature self portraits of Lennon and Ono. The drawing is boldly inscribed, “Joy Merry and Gay / Love and Peace from John / Lennon / Yoko / Ono.” Additionally inscribed at bottom edge of drawing, “Montreal 1969.” The drawing was created by Lennon in Suite 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Montreal, Canada, during John and Yoko's historic Bed-In for Peace, 26 May - 2 June, 1969. Photographs accompanying this lot show Lennon writing the inscription at the bottom edge of the poster board and another image clearly shows the entire completed drawing, in bed with Lennon and Ono. The drawing was given to Norman Seaman, who first became acquainted with Yoko Ono when he produced Ono’s first major performance of solo work at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1961. Seaman, his wife Helen, and their children were invited to the bed-in by Ono and received this original drawing inscribed to Seaman’s three daughters Joy, Merry and Gay. The drawing remained a treasured family heirloom for over forty years. This lot is additionally accompanied by a letter from one of the daughters re-counting further details from the family’s experiences at the bed-in as well as the history of the family’s long friendship and association with Lennon and Ono. The drawing has been trimmed from its original size on the bottom and left edges. 20 ¼ by 25 ¾ inches Categories:
