Enjoy the photography of Linda McCartney at the James Hyman Gallery this spring

linda_3.jpgJames Hyman and Paul McCartney are delighted to announce an exhibition of 28 platinum photographs by Linda McCartney. For fuller details please consult the gallery.

This is the first major exhibition of platinum prints by Linda McCartney to be presented in the UK. With the full support of Paul McCartney and his family, this exhibition is the result of a three-year collaboration with gallerist and art historian James Hyman.

Paul McCartney says: "An exhibition presenting the range of Linda's photographic work is long overdue, so I'm obviously pleased that this show is happening. James Hyman, my daughter Mary, and I have worked on it now for three years, and the result is a sensitive selection of works that really demonstrates Linda's creative output as a photographer. The photographs not only illustrate her incredible talent as an artist, but as someone who was very much connected to the culture of the times, and wasn't afraid to challenge herself or her subject."

Photographed from the 1960s up until the late 1990s, these pictures present a personal record of the times and feature many rarely seen works, as well as better known images.

The exhibition includes portraits of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Simon and Garfunkel, Gilbert & George and Mick Jagger. It also presents landscapes, intimate interiors, self-portraits and family life.

The exhibition runs from Friday April 25th to Saturday July 19th. The James Hyman Gallery on Saville Row is open from Monday To Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
