Yoko Ono is an established avant-garde artist whose work spans installations, object, film, photography, and music. Named after her renowned 1967 exhibition Half a Wind at London’s Lisson Gallery, this volume features Ono’s most important projects. It also includes photographs of Ono surrounded by her art, either as creator or participant, as well as her billboards, “instructions,” letters, invitations to her performances, and exhibition posters.
