Paul McCartney, Tenerife, c.1999

Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr of The Beatles visited Tenerife with their friends from Hamburg, Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voormann, in 1963 for a well-earned holiday after the release of their debut album, Please, Please Me. (John was holidaying in Torremolinos with Brian Epstein).

In addition to working on design for the massive Beatles Anthology project beginning in the mid-1990s, Klaus Voorman collaborated with photographer Astrid Kirchherr on a book project called Hamburg Days with Genesis Publications, which focused on each of their respective media, in relation to their histories with The Beatles. Klaus sketched countless "memory drawings" of his experiences with the lads during the process of revisiting so many memories over the years, many of which ended up in the book, or became more refined paintings and illustrations.

Collector's Notes:
This is a one-of-a-kind drawing created during the production of the limited edition fine art book Hamburg Days in 1999, signed by Grammy Award-winning artist Klaus Voormann.
