Yoko Ono - Lot with 3 books - 2008-2015

You're bidding on three books by Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono is an American-Japanese multimedia artist, musician, and peace activist. She is best known for her involvement in the Fluxus art movement and, in the culture at large, for her marriage to the Beatles frontman John Lennon. The works of John Cage and Marcel Duchamp were both highly influential to Ono’s Neo-Dada artwork, which often achieves a unique combination of humor and poignancy. In one of her earliest pieces, Painting to Be Stepped On (1960–1961), the artist invited viewers to walk on top of a canvas placed on the floor, thereby radically questioning the separation between art and life by asking viewers to participate in its completion. Her seminal performance, Cut Piece (1964), took this idea even further, putting herself at the mercy of an audience that cut her clothes off, piece by piece. Born on February 18, 1933 in Tokyo, Japan, Ono was profoundly marked by her experience of living through WWII and moving to New York as a young woman. Her work can be found in several important museum collections worldwide, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., among others.
