TORONTO, June 14 /CNW/ - 1050 CHUM, exclusively with Yoko Ono, is pleased to present a major exhibition of the artwork of John Lennon. "Imagine All The People...

Also on display will be a complete portfolio of the increasingly rare 15 "Bag One" signed lithographs - a complete set of which is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in addition to the original lyrics to the song "Instant Karma."
From generation to generation, John Lennon's artwork has had a profound effect on everyone who has been touched by his music and his philosophies on life. Each drawing has both a personal and universal meaning, full of wisdom, whimsy and a clarity of artistic expression. This exhibition is produced by Pacific Edge Gallery with full cooperation from Yoko Ono and the John Lennon estate.
On Wednesday, June 16th from 7am - 8am, listeners can tune in to an exclusive interview with Yoko Ono on 1050 CHUM's morning show with Gord James and Nanci Krant. The interview will be replayed the following morning from 8am - 9am.

" Artwork of John Lennon " Exhibition was held at BCE Place, downtown, Toronto, ON., Canada from June 17-20th, 2004 as a part of " John Lennon Artwork North American Tour". John Lennon Art Exhibition was held in Toronto previously numerous times, but this time, it displayed lithographs, serigraphs and copper etchings, " Bag One". hand-written lyrics of " Instant Karma" etc. which had never displayed before. His Sumie Ink paintings were very beautiful and I realized his depth and efforts to understand the Japanese phylosophical ideas. Many people, young and older came to see his art,, and it was quite successful. Here are the snap photos of the exhibition, but the photographs of arts were prohibited to take.
