Lennon invited the famed American artist to do a photo shoot of him for his second solo album, Imagine, in 1971. But he discarded Warhol's work in favour of Polaroid images taken by his wife Yoko Ono.
The chosen photos were remarkably similar to the ones taken by the celebrated pop artist. Now four of Warhol's original prints are coming up for sale for £12,000.
Measuring 13.5ins by 13.5ins, two of them are close-ups of Lennon wearing his trademark round glasses looking straight into the camera while the other two are side-on shots. They were taken at Lennon's Tittenhurst Park home in Berkshire in 1971. The photos belong to Geoffrey Giuliano, author and well-known Beatles collector, and are being sold by Omega Auctions of Merseyside.
