The Lost Weekend - The photography of May Pang featuring candid shots of John Lennon in 1974-75
May Pang will be onsite throughout the weekend at Gallery West to meet customers and answer questions about her photo exhibit featuring shots of her time spent with John Lennon. AN opening reception takes place on Friday, March 27 at 5-7PM.
She was just a kid growing up in Spanish Harlem in the 1960s, the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants who went to Catholic school, hated studying and fell in love with all things rock & roll, especially The Beatles. So when May Pang landed a gig at Apple Records, which quickly became working exclusively with John and Yoko as their full-time personal assistant, she found herself living a life beyond even her wildest dreams, all at the tender age of 19.
Yet when the couples’ marriage began to disintegrate, Yoko convinced their young (i.e., easy to control) assistant that she was the safest bet to date a newly single John. Quickly the pair began what the singer would call his “Lost Weekend,” an 18-month-long whirlwind romance that took the two to the center of the madness of L.A.’s music scene, reunited a newly sober Lennon with his long-estranged son Julian, and reconnect the former Beatle to his love for rock & roll, and all as the new couple fell ever deeper in love.
Photos from the 18 month “lost weekend” period in 1974-75 include many candid shots of John Lennon and the only ohoto taken at the actual signing of the Beatles breakup contract. May Pang will be onsite to speak with attendees. Opening reception is Friday from 5-7PM. This is not to be missed!
Please note that through gallery obligations, Ms. Pang will not be able to sign anything outside of photos purchased at this show.
