Linda McCartney Photo Exhibit

On the 10th anniversary of her death, the James Hyman Gallery in London presents an exhibition of photographs by Linda McCartney.

Considering the mess our Paul got himself into since losing her, it's time to cut Linda a break. After all, she clearly kept him out of trouble for the 30 years they were married. While it's true that she broke our hearts and crushed our secret dreams by marrying our favorite Beatle, it's been forty years, and probably time to get over the disappointment. Fiinally, it's time for us to judge her talent as an artist purely on the basis of her skill, and not filtered through the lens of jelousy. And here's our chance: The Hyman Gallery in London, England exhibit of Linda McCartney's photographs, scheduled to coincide with the 10th anniversary of her death in 1998 at the age of 56.

The twenty -eight photographs that make up the exhibit were picked from her collection by Paul, and include portraits of Mick Jagger, John Lennon. Janis Joplin, and Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel. But the exhibit is not merely a hall of fame of 60's rock stars. Also included are shots of Linda and her husband and children, including a self portrait done during a course of chemo therapy for the breast cancer that ultimately killed her. The photographs are printed on the paper she preferred using her preferred process by the same studio she used. Prints of the photographs will be available for purchase starting at $9,500 each.
