Ringo Starr

In 2015, Ringo Starr unveiled eight further signed portraits of his Beatles bandmates. One or two copies remain of Prints 1, 5 and 8.

50 years ago, Ringo shot on both black-and-white and vibrant colour films, and experimented with psychedelic fish-eye lens effects. His portraits show us George in a moment of quiet reflection; John and Paul recording in the studio; a seventies self-portrait and The Beatles in India.

Reproduced from the negative for the first time as large-format, museum-quality prints, only 25 numbered copies will be created worldwide. Each artwork is signed by Ringo Starr as a mark of authenticity.

George V, Paris, January 1964

USA, February 1964

'Pensive George. You should count the number of times we bought that heavy corduroy overcoat. We would always buy things in fours. It was snowing in Washington and it was freezing.

Miami, Florida, February 1964

'We were on a boat in Florida. Somebody lent us their motor launch and we went out. They let me drive, and I came in to port straight on and broke the rail! But, if you were a Beatle, you could break the rails on anybody's boat in those days.' Ringo Starr

Delhi, July 1966

'These are taken through the fish-eye lens. I like cameras and I like lenses. I think we all bought a Pentax in Japan the first time we went there. If you look closely, John and Paul are both carrying cameras. India was a great place to go to see something you would never see anywhere else.' Ringo Starr

Recording 'Hey Bulldog', Studio 3, Abbey Road Studios, February 11th 1968

'John and Paul would write the songs at the beginning, then George started, and then I joined in - too late I may add. We would usually play the track as a band, and then we'd overdub the tambourines or whatever instruments we used. We made some incredible music. It worked. And there were many, many magic moments, when it really worked.' Ringo Starr

Self Portrait,1970s

'I'm still wearing all my rings, and a St Francis necklace that my auntie got me. It was ripped off in New York. The fans didn't really attack us a lot - those kids just got lucky. We would go out quite a bit in those days, but it started getting really crazy later on.' Ringo Starr
