About
On this day, Paul McCartney visited the Robert Fraser Gallery for the opening of an exhibition by American sculptor Claes Oldenburg. John Lennon was present as well; it was the second time he met with Yoko Ono.
Tuesday, November 22nd, 1966 John and Yoko re-entered each other’s orbit shortly thereafter, once more through the influence of the art world; this time it was at the Robert Fraser Gallery on Duke Street. John remembered, “The second time I met her at a gallery opening of Claes Oldenburg in London. We were very shy, we nodded at each other and we didn’t know—she was standing behind me, I looked away because I’m very shy with people, especially chicks. We just smiled and stood frozen together in this cocktail party thing.” Yoko recalled the contrast in his appearance: “John was probably up all night. I don’t know what he was doing but he looked like a totally different person—unshaven, looking very sort of, uh, angry, and he was — I just was amazed at — it was the person I met in the Indica Gallery.“
