Last month, a rare collaborative abstract painting, titled “Images of a Woman,” surfaced by The Beatles and was auctioned off at Weiss Auctions in Oceanside, NY.

Naturally, it comes as no surprise that the late John Lennon could draw.

An exhibition in his honor called, “Gimme Some Truth: The Artwork of John Lennon,” will be held by his widow, Yoko Ono and Bag One Arts and Legacy Fine Art and Productions.

The show will feature 100 of Lennon’s drawings and sketches, which he created using sumi ink, an Oriental technique. The artwork spans 16 years of Lennon’s life from 1964 to 1980.

Marking the late Lennon’s 72nd birthday, the exhibit will be on display this Friday through October 9th at 130 Prince Street in SoHo, NYC.

Although the event is free, a $2 donation is preferred as the proceeds will be sent to Citymeals-on-Wheels.
