The photographer Astrid Kirchherr, whose early black and white photos of the Beatles are an integral part of the collective photographic memory of the band, died on Wednesday. She was 81.
Kirchherr, born in 1938, was about 22 when she and her then-boyfriend Klaus Voorman went to see a moderately popular band from Liverpool play a dark, filthy, not-quite-right-for-proper-ladies club in her hometown of Hamburg.
In fact, Sutcliffe who was also a painter, quit the band to live with Kirchherr and her mother and attend art school in Hamburg. He died of a brain hemorrhage in April 1962 before they could get married. He was only 21. Many of the early black and white photos she took of the band are an integral part of the collective photographic memory of the band, and the 1960s as a whole.
