LENNON Father Son May Pang
A photo in the exhibition “The Lost Weekend: The Photography of May Pang.”

For three days only, a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of John Lennon will be on view at Cygnet Gallery in Southwest Harbor. “The Lost Weekend: The Photography of May Pang” will run from July 25 to July 27, featuring candid and personal images of Lennon during the infamous “Lost Weekend” era of his life, captured by his lover and longtime companion May Pang.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Few people knew Lennon as personally as Pang did during this remarkable 18-month period from late 1973 through 1975. It was a time of profound creativity and reconnection for Lennon, when he recorded some of his most celebrated post-Beatles albums, including “Mind Games,” “Walls and Bridges” and “Rock and Roll.” Pang not only supported Lennon emotionally and artistically but also photographed him in unguarded moments — at home, in the studio, and with close friends including Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

Many of these private photographs will be on display and available for purchase at Cygnet Gallery, 322 Main Street, Unit 1. In addition to iconic images of Lennon and friends, the show features historic artifacts such as the only known photo of Lennon signing the contract that officially dissolved The Beatles, and one of the last known photographs of Lennon with Paul McCartney, taken March 29, 1974.

May Pang will appear at the gallery throughout the exhibition to meet visitors, share stories and provide insight into her years with Lennon. She is the author of three books on her time with him — “Loving John,” “John Lennon: The Lost Weekend” and “Instamatic Karma” — and is featured in the newly released documentary “The Lost Weekend: A Love Story,” which is now available on digital platforms including Amazon Prime, AppleTV, YouTube, Xfinity, Verizon and Vudu. The exhibition coincides with the film’s release.

The exhibition is open from noon to 7 p.m. July 25 and 26 and from noon to 4 p.m. July 27. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see John Lennon through May Pang’s lens and relive a legendary chapter in rock history.
