A Group of Anarchists who object to John Lennon's BAG ONE exhibition of original lithographs invaded the London Arts Gallery in New Bond Street, London and offered copies of some of the pictures to visitors for 6 pounds each, Saturday 24th January 1970. The original 'works' would cost over 40 pounds. For some time they took the gallery over then later stood outside giving leaflets to people entering and leaving. * Eugene Schuster, the owner of the London Arts Gallery, was charged with exhibiting 'indecent prints' under an obscure 1830 law (Cleared April 1970), said Lennon had exposed his own private sex life 'to encourage a more introspective commitment to content by today's artists who can be so timid'.
