(London) A series of never-before-seen photos taken by Paul McCartney when the Beatles became international stars will be exhibited in London this year.
The National Portrait Gallery announced on Wednesday that the exhibition, titled ‘Eyes of the Storm’, will help mark the gallery’s reopening in June after a three-year renovation.
Gallery director Nicholas Cullinan recounted that McCartney contacted the gallery in 2020 to say he had rediscovered a batch of photos from 1963 and 1964 that he thought were lost.
Cullinan said it was an “extraordinary” set of images from “a famous and important cultural moment [et] taken by someone who was truly, as the title of the exhibition suggests, in the eye of the storm”.
The exhibition will run from June 28 to 1er october.
