Yoko Ono is een avant-gardistische kunstenares en muzikante, bekend om het verleggen van de grenzen van kunst en muziek. Haar werk wordt gekenmerkt door een experimentele aanpak en onconventionele vormen van expressie. Met haar creaties moedigt ze het publiek aan om gangbare concepten en percepties van de wereld te heroverwegen. Haar invloed reikt verder dan traditionele artistieke en muzikale sferen en heeft een duidelijke stempel gedrukt op de avant-garde beweging.

Back in print for the first time in nearly thirty years, here is Yoko Ono's whimsical, delightful, subversive, startling book of instructions for art and for life."A dream you dream alone may be a dream, but a dream two people dream together is a reality.""Burn this book after you've read it." -- Yoko Ono"This is the greatest book I've ever burned." -- John Lennon
Yoko Onos großes, weitgehend unbekanntes Zeichnungskonvolut „Franklin Summer“, Inkblot-Arbeiten in stets gleichgroßem Format, von denen Ono seit 1994 mehr als 1.400 Beispiele geschaffen hat, wird mit rund einhundert von der Künstlerin ausgewählten Werken erstmals publiziert. Mit „Vertical Memory“ von 1997 erscheint Onos 21-teilige konzeptuelle Fotografie aus einem verzerrten Gesicht, das ihrem Vater gilt. Mit dem Werk manifestiert Yoko Ono ihre Lebensgeschichte. Drei historische Partituren aus ihrem Künstlerbuch „Grapefruit“ von 1964, es sind „Drinking Piece for Orchestra“, „Bicycle Piece for Orchestra“ und „Painting to Be Slept On“, werden erstmals hier gezeigt.
When work started on this book, Yoko Ono freighted two boxcars full of John Lennon's personal memorabilia from New York to Los Angeles - photographs that had never been seen before, drawings, videotapes, poems, unpublished songs and other writings. The Lennon family in England also provided previously unpublished photographs.;The text of the book is entirely made up of unpublished writings by John, while Yoko Ono has made the book a personal tribute to John by writing the introduction.
Written in its author’s much-imitated, never-duplicated voice, populated with his own illustrations, full of the wit and honesty that helped make him one of the most iconic, polarizing figures of the 20th Century, Skywriting by Word of Mouth is the lost and recovered, posthumously published autobiography of John Lennon.
On the occasion of Yoko Ono's 80th birthday, this retrospective volume showcases the enormous diversity and reach of her work of the past sixty years.
All We are Saying, John Lennon and Yoko Ono
On the 20th anniversary of his death, a rare, poignant John Lennon document in print and updated.Lennon's last interview before his assassination on December 8, 1980, was first published in "Playbo"y in a 20,000 word format in November that year. It saw limited distribution in the US in its full form as a 200-page book, reflecting 20 hours of tapes made in September 1980, but was never seen elsewhere, and is now a collector's item. This new, revised edition is published with the rare participation of Yoko Ono, and includes a new interview with her. Here John sums it all up: the Beatles, his former partners, his childhood, the seeds of rebellion and artistry, the creation of his music, the relationship with Yoko Ono, politics, sex, passion, peace. Interwoven with the transcripts of the interview sessions is David Scheff's reportage of their encounters, from recording studios to signing autographs for fans on those fateful Dakota Building steps.
