“John Lennon, Fillmore East, NYC, August 1972”
Silkscreen and iridescence on 320 gram Coventry Rag paper
Dimensions: 16” x 22 ½”
An edition of 50
Signed by the Artist in pencil
In 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono conceived a concert at Madison Garden called “One to One.” It was a benefit for the Willowbrook State School in Staten Island, a facility for mentally and physically challenged children. John, Yoko and Elephant’s Memory were headliners along with Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack and Sha Na Na. Rehearsals were held at the famed Fillmore East in NYC and on one August afternoon, Bob Gruen captured this thoughtful shot of John on the stairs to the dressing room. There is something very quiet… very reflective about this moment in time… one that precedes what would be John’s last full-length concert performance in New York City.
Bob Gruen met John Lennon in 1971, shortly after he moved to New York. For the next nine years, Bob worked as John’s personal photographer and captured a wide variety of diverse moments in John’s career and in his family life. Bob and John became friends and the strength of that friendship is visible in every photograph that Bob took.

- IT WILL NOT DISAPPEAR IF WE JUST IGNORE ITBy Al DiazLocated in North Adams, MA"IT WILL NOT DISAPPEAR IF WE JUST IGNORE IT," Al Diaz, 2022 Silkscreen on 290 gram Coventry Rag paper with hand deckled edges Dimensions: 18" x 37" An edition of 10 Signed and numbered by the Artist Note that the edition number you receive may be different than the one in the photograph. Al Díaz’s career spans five decades. Born and raised Puerto Rican in New York City, by age 15 he was an influential first-generation subway graffiti artist known as “BOMB-ONE.” His friendship and artistic collaboration with high school schoolmate Jean-Michel Basquiat on SAMO, (a late 70s Avant-garde graffiti tag project) has been noted often in contemporary art history. Díaz later contributed percussion to numerous musical recordings and performances, including Basquiat’s historic 1983 record, “Beat Bop,” (considered to be one of the earliest hip-hop albums). Díaz is sought-after as an expert of New York City counterculture art. He appears often in publications, as a highlighted speaker for a variety of panel discussions at universities and museums (including Smithsonian Institution, the Brooklyn Museum, The New School and Christie’s Education), and has been featured in several films, including Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat, BBC’s American Masters — Basquiat: Rage to Riches and Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child. In 2018, Díaz authored "SAMO …SINCE 1978", an in-depth, color illustrated history of the street art legacy that he began with Basquiat in the late 70s. A notebook that Díaz made with Basquiat in his teens is currently held in the collection of the Yale University Beinecke Library.Category
