This afternoon I got to experience Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm at the AGO with Jim Shedden, Curator, Special Projects & Director, Publishing at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
The exhibition runs through June 7. Here's a little more:
Between December of 1963 and February of 1964, The Beatles were catapulted from British sensation to global superstars. In stadiums, streets, and on The Ed Sullivan Show, their arrival in North America marked a major cultural shift. Greeted by screaming fans and press at every turn, Paul McCartney stood in the eyes of the storm and his photographs offer a unique perspective on what it was like to be a Beatle at the start of Beatlemania.
If you're a Beatles fan, you'll love it. I snapped some photos, mainly of the Toronto-centric content that's exclusive to the AGO.
