Yoko Ono
This lyrical biography explores the life and art of Yoko Ono, from her childhood haiku to her avant-garde visual art and experimental music. An outcast throughout most of her life, and misunderstood by every group she was supposed to belong to, Yoko always followed her own unique vision to create art that was ahead of its time and would later be celebrated. Her focus remained on being an artist, even when the rest of world saw her only as the wife of John Lennon. Yoko Ono’s moving story will inspire any young adult who has ever felt like an outsider, or who is developing or questioning ideas about being an artist, to follow their dreams and find beauty in all that surrounds them.

Yoko Ono, Arias, and Objects
The distinguished artistic career of Yoko Ono--wife of the late John Lennon--has often been overlooked in the light of Lennon's and the Beatles' fame. Now that the radical sentiments of the 1960s have become part of our cultural history, Ono's work appeals to a greater audience. 125 photographs, 30 in color.
Yoko Ono
For more than sixty years, Yoko Ono has fascinated us as one of the world's most innovative and radical artists. From a childhood of both extraordinary privilege and extreme deprivation in war-time Japan, she adopted an outsider's persona, moved to America, and discovered New York's bohemian arts scene. She was established as a performance artist in the Fluxus movement, and already twice divorced, before meeting the Beatles' John Lennon at a London Gallery in 1966. Their intense, headline-grabbing romance, said to have blown-up the Beatles, and resulting in her famous bed-ins and musical collaborations with Lennon, captivated the world. Through it all, and for decades after his tragic death, she remained defiantly herself. ?Yoko Ono: An Artful Life charts her journey of personal turmoil, artistic evolution, and activism, and at last tells her iconic story on her own terms.
John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band
A definitive, in-depth, revelatory exploration of John Lennon's intensely personal first major solo album after the breakup of the Beatles. Described by Lennon as "the best thing I've ever done," and widely regarded as his best solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was released on 11 December 1970. With first-hand commentary by Lennon, Ono, and other members of the band, and packed with previously unseen photographs by those who documented their lives, this incisive volume offers new insights into the raw emotions and open mindset of Lennon after marriage to Ono and the breakup of the Beatles, to the making of the album and revealing interview with Jann Wenner in December 1970. Primal therapy had a huge impact on Lennon's songwriting, resulting in the creation of intensely personal, soul-baring tracks. This book takes his lyrics as a starting point and explores Lennon's life, career, and self-perception, from "performing flea" with the Beatles to authenticity as a solo artist.

Acorn
"It's nearly 50 years ago that my book of conceptual instructions Grapefruit was first published. In these pages I'm picking up where I left off. After each day of sharing the instructions you should feel free to question, discuss, and/or report what your mind tells you. I'm just planting the seeds. Have fun." - Yoko Ono Legendary avant-garde icon Yoko Ono has inspired generations of artists and performers. In Acorn, she offers enchanting and thought-provoking exercises that open our eyes-and all of our senses - to more creative and mindful ways of relating to ourselves, each other, and the planet we cohabit. Throughout this beautifully designed book are 100 black-and-white line drawings by Yoko. Like this legendary woman herself, the book is wildly original, stimulating, and hard to label: call it purposeful play, call it brain poetry, call it guided motivation, call it Zen-like incantations, call it whatever you want. But read it. Acorn may change the way you experience the world.
Yoko Ono - A Portrait of an Avant-Garde Artist (Biography)
Yoko Ono - A Portrait of an Avant-Garde Artist is the biography of Yoko Ono, a popular Japanese artist and musician. Ono is known for her work as avant-garde artist and musician, as well as her marriage and works with English musician John Lennon, of Beatles fame. She currently lives in New York City. John Lennon once described her as "the world's most famous unknown artist: everybody knows her name, but nobody knows what she does." Ono first met John Lennon when he visited a preview of an exhibition of Ono's at the Indica Gallery in London on November 9, 1966. Lennon's first personal encounter with Ono involved her passing him a card that read simply "Breathe." He was taken with the positivity, humour, and interactivity of her work. Yoko Ono - A Portrait of an Avant-Garde Artist is highly recommended for those interested in reading more about this talented artist.
