An upcoming auction at Analogr in Glendale boasts a unique item: an original drawing by John Lennon, who had a lifelong love for visual art and often sketched moments from his daily life. This one appears to be from his dreamlife. Called Dream 2, it shows a roaring monster on the right, shaking and waving its arms, while a figure that is likely Lennon himself heads to a door on the left. Over the doorway is a cluster of heads, presumably representing adoring fans. An accompanying note dates the drawing to 1976. On the back of the drawing Lennon’s widow, the artist Yoko Ono, has written, “Love, Yoko Ono 2007”—well after his death in 1980. The drawing is part of anauction of Beatles memorabilia, which features photographs, posters and clothing. The highest bid for Dream 2 is currently more than $20,000, although the reserve has not yet been met. Analogr is hosting a public viewing on Saturday 2 March, from 4pm to 8pm.
