While John Lennon said Yoko Ono is the most famous unknown artist of the world, I am happy to have gotten to know a little more about her work and the time she's been living through. Her work is not just art work but everything else including the peace activities and of course being the wife of John Lennon. Some may say her work is too conceptual but others may say that was how the era was.
I personally liked the simplicity and consistency of her most recent work, which was called the Moving Mountains. It was a "get involved" art and three passerby kids were playing inside the black potato sack on what looked like a stage, with some MOMA like music in the back. It did look like "it" and I assume that was the point.
I also bought "air" from the candy machine, in the manner of the 23(?) people buying "morning" at Yoko's NYC apartment in her earlier work. I felt a bit "art" buying and keeping the air in the plastic capsule.
