Yoko Ono, the Japanese-American artist, is being celebrated in a major exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in London. The comprehensive show spans seven decades of Ono's artwork and includes over 200 pieces, ranging from film and music to paintings, drawings, and sculptures. This exhibition aims to highlight Ono's artistic journey and achievements both before and after her marriage to John Lennon, shedding light on her significant contributions to conceptual art.

The exhibition begins by exploring Ono's early years in 1950s and 1960s New York. During this time, her apartment became a gathering place for bohemian artists, allowing her to immerse herself in the avant-garde art scene. It was in Japan, however, that she truly emerged as an influential figure by bridging the gap between artists from the East and the West.
