Dezo is internationally acclaimed for his rare and insightful images of many of the pop icons of the 1960’s- The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and many others. In 1958 Marilyn Monroe was visiting London for the filming of Prince and the Showgirl with Lord Olivier. Dezo was able to capture a selection of beautiful images during this special visit. A suite of 5 shots from this London visit are part of this amazing exhibition. They are all black and white and in editions of 500 for world publication.

Over 40 years ago, The Beatles cast a magical spell from which the world has never recovered.  their impact, not only on rock & roll music but on all of Western culture, is simply incalculable.
In 1962, Dezo Hoffman received a letter from a fan sent to the Record Mirror, a publication at which Dezo was a staff photographer, bitterly complaining that the press was ignoring the "fab" group in Liverpool called THE BEATLES.  Consequently, he went to Liverpool and took his first pictures of the "smart but rather subdued" group of four young men.  During their meteoric rise in popularity, THE BEATLES hired Dezo Hoffman to be their first professional photographer.  He would go on to chronicle their experiences and as a firsthand participant, captured some of the most bold, imaginative and sensitive images ever produced of THE BEATLES.  Dezo took more shots of the group, and was closer to them, than almost any other photographer.  He covered nearly every major event in their career, often being the only photographer present.
