Astrid Kirchherr, born in 1938 in Hamburg, showed early interest in dress designing and photography. She was introduced to the Beatles at the Kaiserkeller Club there by her-then boyfriend Klaus Voormann, who later designed the cover for the Beatles' album "Revolver." Kirchherr began taking photos of the pre-fame Beatles. The photos were characterized by the stunning professional look they gave to the group.
Now the 73-year-old snapper is selling her entire Beatles collection – over 600 photos complete with copyright and negatives at Guernsey’s auction house in Manhattan, between 24th and 25th September, 2011.
Details of the lots can be found here.
