John & Yoko

John Lennon married Yoko Ono on March 20th, 1969. 

In November 1980, on the eve of John Lennon's untimely death, photographer Allan Tannenbaum had unique and total access to John and Yoko, who were emerging from five years of seclusion and avoiding the media. As one of the few photographers with whom John and Yoko were close, Tannenbaum was privileged to be able to capture many intimate moments between the two. John cherished these images of Yoko and was moved by their beauty and grace. The result is this moving book of photography about John and Yoko together, in the last weeks of his life.

"The photos are beautiful and give one a sense of intimacy of John and Yoko's life together."  - David P. Reader

John & Yoko - A New York Love Story
Yoko Ono shares many of these photographs on her Facebook page and she's getting ready to release a collection of John's artwork published by Insight Editions this fall in John Lennon, The Collected Artwork.

Real Love: Drawings for Sean was released in 2011.
