JOHN Lennon’s historic Psychedelic Eye mosaic work of art, which is owned by a Bushey artist promoter, is being featured at the Victoria and Albert Museum’s You Say You Want A Revolution – Records And Rebels 1966-1970 exhibition from Saturday.

The piece was originally installed by the Beatle at his Kenwood home, in Surrey, between 1964 and 1968 and it is believed the band’s hits Yellow Submarine and Hey Jude were composed at the house.

The mansion was sold in 1968 and bought by an anonymous Swedish entrepreneur and former music producer from Bushey, in 1982, who took down the artwork with his Bushey friend, Bernard Cochrane, who was a promoter for artists including Bob Dylan in the 1960s and 70s.

After it was displayed at the Royal Festival Gardens in Liverpool for a short while, The Psychedelic Eye was shipped off to the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital but never arrived.

Bernard and his Swedish friend eventually discovered the piece was on display at Beatles City in Liverpool and reclaimed it after winning a civil claims battle that cost more than £100,000 in solicitors fees and are now displaying it at the V&A Museum over the next year.
