Question
I purchased some time ago a lithograph by John that is of him and Yoko's facial profile with him offering a holly bush to her.  The hollies are in red and it has the four Beatles signatures in blue.  In the right hand corner is a box that says Lithograph Drawing by John Lennon Copyright (circa. sign)1980 by Chelsea Artworks.  It is framed with pink and blue drawn in 3-D.
Can you help me to approximate the value of this lithograph?

Answer
Hi Patricia!

Well, John only personally created one lithograph in his lifetime, a drawing of he and Yoko called "Frontspiece", so it has to be a lithograph authorized by Yoko. In this case, in order to give you any sort of appraisal, I'd need to see the piece. If you can take a picture of it and send it to me at pattie@luvmedeux.com, I'll see if I can appraise it for you. To my knowledge, there's never been one created that also reproduced the four Beatle autographs as well. In the meantime, I'll do some research based on the information you've given me to see what I can determine. Looking forward to hearing from you again...

Peace,
Pattie
