BEATLEMANIA

It was a journalist at The Daily Mirror, one of Britain’s largest daily newspapers that coined the term BEATLEMANIA. He, along with other reporters and photographers, was with the Beatles every step of the way through their whirlwind rise to the top, after which they accompanied them on their journey to become, quite simply, the greatest band the world has ever seen.

It is through the many thousands of photographs in the Daily Mirror archive that we are able to visually chart their path. The photographs in this exhibition represent some of the greatest moments in their career, both backstage and onstage, as well as intimate times. These photos capture just what it was like to be at the centre of the storm that was BEATLEMANIA.

The exhibition contains 100 photographs, all are available in 3 different sizes. Each photograph is printed on barite paper, has an embossed stamp, is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The BEATLEMANIA Collection has been compiled by Fergus McKenna (Head of Syndication & Licensing Mirror Group Newspapers), Peter de Raaf (V!P’s Galleries), and Richard Havers (author of "Beatlemania-The days of their life"),Thread Gallery host this exhibition, joint curator is Pieter de Voogd and ZhangLijian, it is a joint initiative between Mirrorpix and V!P’s International Art Galleries.
