Yoko Ono was an avant-garde artist long before she met John Lennon. Her instruction pieces asked viewers to finish the work in their heads. Her performances invited audiences to take part. For years the public blamed her, unfairly, for the Beatles' break-up, and much of that hostility was racist and sexist. Critics have since reassessed her, and museums now celebrate her influence. She has spent decades campaigning for peace. Her later music has also found new admirers.
Yoko Ono (Japanese: 小野 洋子, romanized: Ono Yōko, usually spelled in katakana as オノ・ヨーコ; born February 18, 1933) is a Japanese retired artist, musician, and peace activist. Her work also encompasses performance art and filmmaking.
