Yoko Ono

Since emerging onto the international art scene in the early 1960s, Yoko Ono has made profound contributions to visual art, performance, filmmaking, and experimental music. Born in Tokyo in 1933, she moved with her family to New York in the mid-1950s and enrolled at Sarah Lawrence College. Over the next decade she lived in New York, Tokyo, and London, greatly influencing the international development of Fluxus and Conceptual art. An artist represented in the Museum's collection, her work has been featured in various MoMA exhibitions, including Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971 in 2015 and Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant-Garde in 2012–2013.
