New Yoko Ono release, by lukas01 on Feb 16, 2024 13:43:37 GMT 1, Nice production, but it's a little too small.
A 17x17cm size would have been great.

New Yoko Ono release, by its all about me on Feb 16, 2024 14:05:13 GMT 1, Just to clarify, Tate are increasing the price as it sells out. It started at £850, then went to £950. It's now £1200. I'm guessing the last few will be even more expensive. I still think it's a fair price though, for such a low edition.

New Yoko Ono release, by its all about me on Feb 16, 2024 14:10:23 GMT 1, Not sure if this adds anything or helps anyone but I went to preview of the show and took couple of pics of the edition. Either price has changed (was £850) or more likely gone up as there are only a few left. It looked a nice item but is very small. The certificate it comes with is not signed but I think that is because Yoko is quite frail these days and so possibly no longer signing works. Show at Tate is very big and interactive which I enjoyed.

In case people are unaware, Inkan is the name for the Japanese seals you often see on oriental scroll paintings etc. |

New Yoko Ono release, by Arty Farty 15 on Feb 16, 2024 15:30:33 GMT 1, I think she should quit being an artist and open a dairy farm. She’s managed to successfully milk her husbands death for the past 40 years

But if you don't like conceptual art then you wont like it. Which is fair enough I guess.
This is beyond ridiculous. Anyone who lays down good money for this piece of junk needs their head examined...by a team of specialists! It's conceptual art. It may be simple but, at the same time, there's quite a bit of thought and imagination behind it. I like that. It knocks spots off most of the bland urban art that sells on here. But if you don't like conceptual art then you wont like it. Which is fair enough I guess. |

New Yoko Ono release, by artlike on Feb 17, 2024 15:49:35 GMT 1, I think it's very nice and positive also, which is a change from a lot of the art we see. Not saying it's a masterpiece. It's definitely better than her singing.
Frightening

Yes, that couple of thousand dollars will truly make a difference to 90 year old Yoko, wife of John Lennon

New Yoko Ono release, by Ravnur 2020 on Feb 17, 2024 21:59:44 GMT 1, Fantastic artist, but as with most conceptual art it does not necessarily make for good saleable pieces and I’m not sure it is supposed to. Got a couple of very nice little prints of a couple of her drawings though. Wish I could see the exhibition at the Tate, but probably not to be 😒

Yoko Ono was a highly regarded artist long before she got involved with the Beatles.
You don't get a solo exhibition at Tate Modern simply for being the widow of John Lennon you know.

New Yoko Ono release, by topper on Feb 19, 2024 12:54:32 GMT 1, Never thought I would start this week by defending Yoko Ono but here goes....
As 'It's All About Me' says, Ono was already a respected artist before Lennon came along. It was through her art that they met and one piece in particular 'Ceiling Painting 1966' that changed the world of one the greatest songwriters that has ever lived. That alone says something.
I don'y believe she split up the Beatles. Ono probably saved a very damaged John Lennon and helped him explore another sides to his art. If she got on stage with Lennon and wailed, it's because he wanted her there. He was no shrinking violet. If she broke up the Beatles, the others never seemed to blame her.
As for 'milking his death', this is a Yoko Ono exhibition and art release, nothing to do with Lennon or The Beatles. I think the estate has been quite reserved in comparison to others. I mean, she has the rights to some of the greatest songs ever written so why bother anyway. Having said that, the re-working of Happy Xmas (war is over) actually makes me angry to listen to!!!
Anyway, regarding 'A Box Of Smiles 2024' it's obviously a nod to previous conceptual work that she's made various releases of. Simple on the face of it, like most of her works. Makes sense to release a small edition with what could be her last retrospective show. And like her or not, she has had a huge impact on British popular culture. I haven't been to the show yet but will be getting over there soon enough.

Not sure if the other members of the Beatles or Chuck Berry would call her a “fantastic artist”… Don't really give a monkies what they would call her as I'm luckily able of independent thought and opinion Oh Ravnur, please. Regardless of your opinion of Yoko One (which mine is favorable as I do believe she was the guiding force behind the song 'Imagine') the look on Chuck Berry's face is priceless. |
