Yoko Ono: One Woman Show
1960–1971
1960–1971
Unofficial MoMA Debut
1971
At that time, Ono advertised her “one woman show,” titled Museum of Modern [F]art.
However, when visitors arrived at the Museum there was little evidence
of her work. According to a sign outside the entrance, Ono had released
flies on the Museum grounds, and the public was invited to track them as
they dispersed across the city.
Now, over 40 years later, Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971
surveys the decisive decade that led up to Ono’s unauthorized exhibition, bringing together approximately 125 of her early objects,
works on paper, installations, performances, audio recordings, and
films, alongside rarely seen archival materials. A number of works
invite interaction, including Painting to Be Stepped On (1960/1961) and Ono’s groundbreaking performance

Around 1968, Ono decided to create a band “that would never exist, that didn’t have a set number of members, that could accommodate anyone who wanted to play with it.” The name derived from a small three-dimensional work composed almost entirely of transparent plastic objects that John Lennon made in response to Ono’s initial idea.
