The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC (76 Mercer St., NYC) was honoured to present JOHN LENNON: THE NEW YORK CITY YEARS which opened in May 2009. The extraordinary exhibit presented exclusive artifacts from the life and work of John Lennon. The exhibit featured never‐before‐seen items that uniquely commemorate Lennon’s life in New York City.
"John would have been so pleased that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex in New York was honouring his life and work. It was a city we called home for many years and I so hope it will be a true gift to New York City’s residents and visitors that have been such supportive fans"
Yoko Ono.
The exhibit was created by Yoko Ono and curated by Jim Henke, Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs, for the New York City Annex. The exhibit included a selection of rare artifacts, films and photos as well as exclusive New York‐centric additions provided by the generosity of Yoko Ono.
"Yoko Ono has been very generous to the Hall of Fame over the years, and we are delighted to be able to work with her on this new exhibit. John Lennon spent the last nine years of his life in New York, and he loved the city. This exhibit will examine those years and the many things John accomplished while in New York."
Jim Henke, curator & Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs.
