Rear-view Mirror: Photos, December 1963-February 1964 opens on Friday, April 25, at the Gagosian Art Gallery and will run until June 21.
This collection includes photos recently unveiled by The Beatles Legend that have never been seen before, along with some that appeared in his 2023 photo book, The Eyes of the Storm.

“We really did not know how important Ed Sullivan was; we hadn’t heard about him,” McCartney shares in the video. “By the time we got to America, it was the coolest thing. But when we went to this show, we did not realize its significance. This was just another television show, we thought.”
Following the exhibition, photographs signed by McCartney will be available for purchase, with expected prices ranging from $15,000 to $90,000 (approximately £11,000 to £68,000). Proceeds will support those affected by the devastating wildfires in California.

McCartney has also recently revealed details of a new book titled Wings: The History of the Group on the Run, described as “an inspiring, stereo celebration of songs, collaboration, and performances that would shape the soundtrack of the late 20th century.” The book will feature countless previously inaccessible photographs.
Additionally, he hinted that he hopes to complete a new solo album this year and recently performed three surprise intimate concerts in New York.
