Bag One was a suite of lithographs by John Lennon that were put out and exhibited by Lee Nordness Galleries, February 7 through February 28, 1970 in New York City. The series of fourteen original lithographs were given to Yoko Ono as a wedding gift in 1969. This exhibition caused quite a controversy as to whether these lithographs were art or pornography, and eventually the art was confiscated by Scotland Yard while on exhibit in London. John was later exonerated by the British courts, but many of the prints were mishandled and never returned to the Lennons. The book is 8.5" x 11" and contains twenty pages not including the covers. This catalog is in excellent condition. From a private collection. 5% of the proceeds will benefit the Jeremy Wilson Foundation.
