“A DREAM YOU DREAM ALONE IS ONLY A DREAM;
BUT A DREAM WE DREAM TOGETHER IS REALITY.”
(Yoko Ono)
Yoko Ono ventured into the art world in the late 1950s when artists were still expected to produce aesthetically enticing and commercially valuable objects. There was little understanding, at the time, for the offbeat art that looked at being intellectually intriguing and politically provocative rather than visually palatable. Ono was amongst the forerunners of the buoyant movement that shook the establishment, revolutionised conventional conceptions of art, and “established a radically different sensibility — one whose style and notoriety were to have a lasting impact on the philosophy of artmaking and on the relationship between art and society.“[i]
