Photographs and Reflections by Paul McCartney 'Millions of eyes
were suddenly upon us, creating a picture I will never forget for
the rest of my life.' In 2020, an extraordinary trove of nearly a
thousand photographs taken by Paul McCartney on a 35mm camera was
re-discovered in his archive. They intimately record the months
towards the end of 1963 and beginning of 1964 when Beatlemania
erupted in the UK and, after the band's first visit to the USA,
they became the most famous people on the planet. The photographs
are McCartney's personal record of this explosive time, when he
was, as he puts it, in the 'Eyes of the Storm'. 1964: Eyes of the
Storm presents 275 of McCartney's photographs from the six cities
of these intense, legendary months - Liverpool, London, Paris, New
York, Washington, D.C. and Miami - and many never-before-seen
portraits of John, George and Ringo. In his Foreword and
Introductions to these city portfolios, McCartney remembers 'what
else can you call it - pandemonium' and conveys his impressions of
Britain and America in 1964 - the moment when the culture changed
and the Sixties really began. 1964: Eyes of the Storm includes: -
Six city portfolios - Liverpool, London, Paris, New York,
Washington, D.C. and Miami - and a Coda on the later months of 1964
- featuring 275 of Paul McCartney's photographs and his candid
reflections on them - A Foreword by Paul McCartney - Beatleland, an
Introduction by Harvard historian and New Yorker essayist Jill
Lepore - A Preface by Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National
Portrait Gallery, London, and Another Lens, an essay by Senior
Curator Rosie Broadley
