  • Starting Over with John and Yoko: The Photographs

    Pollak Gallery

    On View: November 5 – January 15
    Reception: November 5th at 4pm in Pollak Gallery

    In August 1980, John Lennon and Yoko Ono made their triumphant return to the recording studio after a self-imposed five-year absence. Roger Farrington, an up-and-coming photographer from Boston, was hired to get “the shot” that would announce their comeback. It would be Lennon’s most intense press scrutiny since the heady days of the Beatles’ maiden voyage to America in 1964, and for Farrington, it would be the assignment of a lifetime. Just four months later, Lennon’s assassination would plunge the world into mourning. Farrington, whose new book Starting Over with John and Yoko: The Photographs, is co-authored by Monmouth University Professor Kenneth Womack, will display his legendary photographs at the Pollak Theatre beginning October 15th, offering audiences a rare, firsthand look at one of the most significant chapters in Lennon’s life and career.
