In 1969, as a wedding gift for Yoko, John drew the Bag One Portfolio - a chronicle of their wedding ceremony, honeymoon, and their plea for world peace the Bed-In. The suite also
contained several erotic sketches.

The Bag One series was first published and exhibited in January 1970 at the London Art Gallery. On the second day the exhibition was closed by Scotland Yard and the erotic
lithographs confiscated.

The portfolio was published in a limited edition of 300 lithographs and contains 14 pieces.Each lithograph is hand signed by John Lennon himself. Although the entire portfolio is
considered quite artistic by today's standards, some of the works are of an erotic nature. In keeping with the "Family" atmosphere of California Dreaming we have limited this
display to those drawings which are clearly suitable for viewing by people of any age.

The Bag One Portfolio is on permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Please note you are about to see several images of original work by John Lennon. It may take a few minutes for these images to download - but it is definitely worth the wait.
