| Event Description |
The Beatles/I Saw the Photograph offers a unique opportunity to see rare images of this iconic group. The exhibit features the Vincent Vigil collection, including sixty photographs, posters and memorabilia spanning The Beatles’ trajectory from 1962 to 1969. The collection began quietly in 1988, when Vigil attended a Linda McCartney photo exhibit and purchased two prints. A decade later, after studying photography and Museum Studies at San Diego Mesa College, Vigil turned his passion for the 60s group into a serious collecting endeavor; his goal was to tell the story of the Fab Four through the lens of both famous and unknown photographers. As his collection expanded, the Morrison Hotel Gallery approached him and asked to represent him. Most recently his prints have been added to the permanent collection of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Library and Archives. This exhibit not only showcases rare glimpses into the lives of The Beatles, it highlights their cultural impact and legacy. |
