See Andy Warhol, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono's friendship captured in these rare photos
The 1970s were a time for the world’s most eccentric artists to shine. Andy Warhol was at the forefront of the art world, leading the pop-art visual movement in which a plethora of music icons often functioned as muse.
It’s no surprise that Warhol would cross paths with other artistic individualists of the time, and it was widely reported that he became close friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono throughout the 1970s.
The three-way friendship of Warhol, Lennon, and Ono blossomed over many years, with a number of obscure photographs being taken of the trio getting up to no good.
What started as a two-way friendship between Warhol and Lennon grew even stronger when Lennon introduced his partner, Yoko Ono. A Japanese-American multimedia artist, Ono dwelled in a scene surrounded by other influential artists such as Dan Richter and Peggy Guggenheim. It appeared that her knowledge of art shared with Warhol and her understanding of music due to her involvement with Lennon helped to create a multi-faceted friendship which, of course, was fuelled by their shared and differing artistic visions.
