Imo the prints won't be signed because she's 89 yrs, in a wheelchair and is doubtless hoping thousands sell to raise cash for UNCERF.

Exactly, and for those wondering why a screenprint....I guess because she's an iconic artist, still producing artwork worthy of screenprinting.
*Put it this way, I don't see the equally worthy, equally priced, unsigned, timed release by Mr Doodle, which is a giclee, attracting the same level of incredulity or derision....which says something of the direction of travel of this forum imo!

Would be ace if it was signed tho...

Likewise this campaign, taking place over half a century after she and Lennon initiated their anti-war sloganeering - it is as relevant now as it was then, and will doubtless leave a greater mark on art history than any heart by Doodle or Hirst.

I respectfully disagree. I think the work of John and Yoko has had a significant impact. Generations have played the song(s) and been made aware of their message. The impact might not be measurable, but I’m sure millions (and me included) have chosen to live their life according to this message at least partially inspired by them.

Many subsequent performance artists have her as one of their most influential inspiration.

Many subsequent performance artists have her as one of their most influential inspiration. I respect any art and artists but Y.O. work is pretty unnoticeable and just flat boring to me. I think she’s definitely smart and knows her steps and what she wants. Not too sure on the real value of her art though. Before Lennon she was just known in her small group of avant-garde. Without Lennon she would have very likely stayed in that nieche. You want a strong, single excellent art performer? For me that would be Marina Abramovic.
I very much agree with you about Marina Abramovic, she is fantastic. I think because Lennon is always mentioned in the same breath as Ono and often vice versa, maybe being his wife did stifle her later work and career (just a thought!). I agree Ono has not had he same appeal to people beyond performance art as Abramovic and her work which is rooted in the Fluxus movement principles is often very minimalistic and conceptual and hence difficult to get your head around (here í very much include myself!). At the end of he day I think Ono is probably more an artists artist.
Cheers

Why don’t you just say you don’t get it / her and move on. The trashing of Yoko is so yesterday* and juvenile, and just doesn’t come across as being intelligent.

Yoko Ono - Imagine Peace timed edition for UNCERF, by Hairbland on Mar 5, 2022 23:38:37 GMT 1, well, lets state this first: a. Any occasion to give to charity is good and respectable, so any money spent in charity is good money and I'll never judge you for this. Then, IMHO - Yoko Ono's artistic work is one of the most pointless and tasteless I have ever seen. It didn't fully work in her time, it definitely does not work in 2022. She just jumped on the Lennon/Beatles wagon and despite her beliefs, she has never developed anything artistically important (without the Lennon halo). I always think of Y.O. as one of those people that have always been motivated by their parents to get into arts or that you see in XFactor even if they totally suck in singing because "you are so talented at my eyes". Would you have ever heard of Yoko Ono without Lennon? 99.999999% not She was partially known in her own vacuum art world but was still unknown even if married to Toshi Ichiyanagi or Anthony Cox. Can she develop anything without having a reminiscence of John Lennon? Nope. I believe being associated to John Lennon was her fortune, but also her curse.
Fluxus wasn’t in a vacuum. And as you should probably know, the less popular art often opens doors for more popular art. Your gibberish regarding Yoko is very 1970.

If only there was an equivalent Japanese female artist of Ono's generation, who like her had been born into a wealthy family, and also rejected by her family for pursuing the non-conformist life of an artist.
An artist who, like Ono, fled to New York in the 1950s on the verge of madness as a young struggling, misunderstood Japanese female artist, but who didn't marry John Lennon.
Imagine if this other artist had very much remained in her 'own vacuum art world' - for example staging a conceptual exhibition in MOMA's Sculpture Garden in 1966, selling hundreds of mirrored balls amid signs proclaiming 'Your Narcissism For Sale' as a commentary on the commercialism of modern art.
Not unlike Ono's 1971 conceptual MOMA exhibition in which she printed art catalogues, released flies *Damien Hirst anyone, and then filmed the reactions of the public who had come to see the exhibition.
If only we knew what became of this other obscure, conceptual Japanese female artist who wasn't associated with John Lennon eh?

Yoko Ono - Imagine Peace timed edition for UNCERF, by Jules Leotard on Mar 6, 2022 1:43:37 GMT 1, Interesting screen print. I've never been a fan of Y.O. particularly, but she did change John and he even admitted that he "lifted" the concept for the song Imagine from Y.O.'s notebooks and should have credited her as a songwriter for it:
John Lennon took inspiration for "Imagine" from Yoko Ono's poems from her 1964 book "Grapefruit." Lennon later said that the composition should be credited as a Lennon/Ono song, as a lot of its lyrics and the overall concept came from Yoko. John admitted that "In those days I was a bit more selfish, a bit more macho, and I sort of omitted her contribution, but it was right out of 'Grapefruit.' If it had been Bowie, I would have put Lennon-Bowie... I just put 'Lennon' because she's just the wife and you don't put her name on, right?"
So on June 14, 2017, the National Music Publishers' Association announced that Yoko would be added as a songwriter for "Imagine." It finally happened at a ceremony where Ono got the Centennial (song of the century) award for her contribution.
I like the Beatles as much as the next person, but love her or hate her, John Lennon morphed into a different person after meeting her. I'd say his 'worldview' changed because of her.
