Bob Gruen's Work - Photos of John Lennon (Postcard Box Set)

Official set of collectible postcards released by Bob Gruen in 1990 in collaboration with Fotofolio, a renowned art publishing house.

The light blue envelope - the original packaging containing six photographs that Bob Gruen considered the most iconic and significant in depicting John Lennon’s life in New York - was distributed in bookstores at museums and art galleries to coincide with the first major retrospective exhibitions dedicated to John Lennon’s years in New York.
