The Long And Winding Road - The Life and Times of John, Paul, George & Ringo September 16, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO ART EXCHANGE FOCUSES ON THE BEATLES WITH "THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD - THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE & RINGO".

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION OF THE FAB FOUR EVER ASSEMBLED WILL DISPLAY 100+ WORKS BY OVER 20 PHOTOGRAPHERS, RANGING FROM UTTERLY ICONIC IMAGES TO PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN REVELATIONS.

The exhibition kicks off with an opening gala on Saturday, September 16, 7-10PM and runs through the end of October.

The Beatles, collectively and individually, are among the planet's most photographed and recognizable subjects. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr's incalculable impact on popular culture, revolutionizing of contemporary music and captivating personalities have made them endlessly fascinating - on record, via the written word, and through the lenses of many of the greatest photographers of our time.

The Long And Winding Road presents the Beatles' mythic journey through modern times with unprecedented scope. Spotlighting stellar photographic images of the Beatles before, during and after their '60s Beatlemania heyday, the show is larger, deeper, rarer AND more varied than anything previously assembled on the group.

Curated by SFAE following a year of research, The Long And Winding Road will feature over 100 original works by more than 20 internationally renowned photographers. Spanning the late '50s through the '70s (and beyond, in some cases), works on display will range from indelibly known iconic photographs of The Beatles to pictorials that have never before been exhibited - or even seen outside the photographers' archives. "It's a rare honor to be in a position to introduce this visual tribute to the Beatles' legacy," said SFAE co-founder and CEO Theron Kabrich. "They defined a generation, and their lives and art continue to inspire us today. It's a thrill to share this with fans and collectors from around the world."
