  • GRAPEFRUIT by Yoko Ono

    This book is excellent in helping to re-wire the human circuitry: the way in which we think and see the world. After reading, practicing, and doing - you may find yourself less inhibited. It is a blessing that we have an artist, who is part of the avant garde, be so generous with her knowledge and talent and insight(s).

  • not for everybody... (but probably for YOU if you've read this far)

    Disclaimer: I'm a die-hard Beatle fan. I don't care for Yoko's signing -- though i've admittedly not tried wading through any of her solo efforts -- but i *have* been to one of her local art shows here in Cincinnati in the 1990's. I guess i got this for the sake of completion. In the same eBay order i also got a copy of a hardcover book of Paul's paintings. (I didn't even know he painted! I also have a book of his sheet music of some of his favorite tunes that contains a pen-on-paper sketch for each song.) Currently the two books are sitting together on a little stand in the "art room" of our house; if inspiration is lacking, just taking a casual look through either book gets my creative juices flowing....

  • If You Know Fluxus, You'll be Delighted

    Fluxus was an international, interdisciplinary community of artists, composers, designers and poets during the 1960s and 1970s who engaged in experimental art performances which emphasized the artistic process over the finished product. Yoko Ono's book iillustrates and exemplifies what her performance art was all about. I think. Frankly, I'm still trying to understand what's here. Seems rather over my head, but at the same time, I'm fascinated.

  • An interesting insight.

    This book may not be for everyone. I'm a John Lennon and Yoko Ono fan. So I found the book to be an interesting insight into their art.

  • Early Yoko

    Fascinating look into Yoko's early writings. Most "poems" "plays" and life advice are from the early 60's. This book highlights the a·vant-garde style that Yoko would later become as an artist. Cool book. Funny introduction by John Lennon.

  • A classic of conceptual art

    This is a classic of conceptual art by an icon who should be known for more than being married to John Lennon.
