Previously Unseen Beatlemania Images by Paul McCartney Set to Be Displayed at Gagosian

# **Paul McCartney’s Unearthed Photos: An Exclusive View into Beatlemania at Gagosian**

## **An Unprecedented Look at The Beatles’ Soaring Fame**
There’s a thrilling sensation that comes with uncovering a photograph that has never been previously displayed—particularly when it provides a unique insight into the life of a legendary figure. This thrilling experience is precisely what attendees can anticipate at Gagosian’s forthcoming *Paul McCartney* exhibition in Beverly Hills.

Launching on **April 25, 2025**, the exhibition will highlight **36 newly found photographs captured by Paul McCartney** between **December 1963 and February 1964**—an essential timeframe when Beatlemania captivated audiences worldwide. These images are not merely relics from the past; they offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of The Beatles’ swift ascent through the eyes of one of their own.

McCartney’s photographs present a rare and intimate depiction of the band. The collection features snapshots taken during some of their most iconic moments: relaxing by the pool in Miami, facing the whirlwind of fans in New York, and even tranquil self-portraits reflected in hotel mirrors. Each photograph encapsulates the innocence, thrill, and frenetic energy that characterized this golden era of pop music.

## **A Visual Artist Behind the Camera**
While primarily recognized for his music, McCartney’s photographs showcase him as a reflective and perceptive visual artist. Employing a **35mm Pentax camera**, he documented personal experiences and the enchanting tumult surrounding him. The collection comprises both **black-and-white and color images**, portraying his fellow bandmates in contemplative or playful stances and striking scenes captured from moving vehicles.

“Everything was fresh to us during this time,” McCartney noted regarding the photographs. “They now evoke so many stories, a torrent of cherished memories, which is one of the many reasons I cherish them all, and understand they will perpetually ignite my imagination.”

This exhibition signifies the first instance of these images being shown to the public. While McCartney’s photography has been previously showcased at select venues—including the **National Portrait Gallery in London, the Chrysler Museum of Art in Virginia, Brooklyn Museum, and Tokyo City View—**the Gagosian exhibit will present previously unseen works.

## **An Exhibition with a Cause**
The exhibition also possesses a significant purpose. In response to the devastating **Los Angeles wildfires**, McCartney **teamed up with Gagosian to produce limited-edition prints**, with a portion of sales directed towards supporting recovery and reconstruction efforts. This charitable initiative intertwines the influence of art with social responsibility, emphasizing McCartney’s enduring dedication to humanitarian efforts.
