Ono's groundbreaking work greatly influenced the international development of Conceptual art, performance art and experimental film and music. Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971 examines the beginnings of Ono's career, demonstrating her pioneering role in visual art, performance and music during the 1960s and early 1970s. Over the course of the decade, Ono earned international recognition, staging "Cut Piece" in Kyoto and Tokyo in 1964, exhibiting at the Indica Gallery in London in 1966, and launching with John Lennon her global "War Is Over!" campaign in 1969. The accompanying publication features three newly commissioned essays that evaluate the cultural context of Ono's early years, and five sections reflecting her geographic locations during this period and the corresponding evolution of her artistic practice. It begins in New York in December 1960, where Ono initiated a performance series with La Monte Young in her Chambers Street loft. Ono returned to New York in the early 1970s and organized an unsanctioned "one woman show" at MoMA. Each chapter includes an introduction by a guest scholar, artwork descriptions, primary documents culled from newspapers, magazines and journals, and a selection by the artist of her texts and drawings.Born in Tokyo in 1933, Yoko Ono moved to New York in the mid-1950s and became a critical link between the American and Japanese avant-gardes. Over 40 years after Ono's unofficial MoMA debut, th

A range of work is included,and shows the range and dynamism of Yoko's work. Yoko Ono has always been an artist in her own right; and it is good that MOMA has finally provided a show worthy of her talents.. Poor Yoko - always under her husbands shadow Poor Yoko - always under her husbands shadow. Its difficult for Lennons fan base to understand avant-garde. But that is the price of fame (and fortune). I think is probably an effort to show her as her own artiste. I think the only mistake Lennon made was to try and force feed avant-garde on the general public. As an artist, the public will not get it. Nor should they. So history will prevail and Yoko will still be persecuted. But at the same time she has had a very good life of very good fortune..
