Lennon drawings safe for collectors
John Lennon’s graphic drawings of himself having sex may have escaped conviction for obscenity because of fears art collections throughout the country could have fallen foul of the law if the case succeeded, according to official files.
The decision to charge gallery owner Eugene Schuster for displaying eight lithographs by the former Beatle depicting himself and his wife Yoko Ono in various sexual poses led to one of the most sensational court cases of 1970.
