THE ASTRID KIRSCHERR BEATLES ARCHIVE

In Fall 2011, Guernsey's presented to the world the remarkable Astrid Kirscherr Archive of Beatles photography.. Beatles fans around the world have the greatest admiration for Astrid who, in 1960, not only took the most compelling photographs of the then young group, but helped mold them into the world famous Fab Four that they became.

Initially slated for auction, Guernsey's was able to sell the entire collection (2,000 photographs, their negatives and copyrights) to a single buyer. This effort was not only meaningful to Astrid (she is now serving as an advisor to the new owners of the Archive), but to Beatles fans worldwide who understand the importance of the preservation of this material.
