#art, Art History in One Minute (videos), part 9: Yoko Ono…

I chose this image because I believe this is how Yoko Ono likes to be seen and remembered because without John Lennon she would have been nothing, although she still would have been quite rich… This is a scene typical of their hypocritical position on things. They are doing a «bed-in for peace» and for the end of the Vietnam War, and where do they do it? At the Amsterdam Hilton! What you do not see in the photograph are the teams of maids and of food and drink deliveries to their «bed-in». How wonderful it is to be rich and famous and still think of oneself as an «activist» for peace…

In any event I am doing this entry into the series «Art History in One Minute (videos)» because, although in my opinion, Yoko Ono is no artist (unless making tons of money is an art), but since she has been exhibited at the MoMA and at the Guggenheim and a lot of other places, she is regarded as an artist. She’s a conceptual artist. To me she is nothing but a rich woman who knows that with a lot of money you can do, and be, whatever you want. If she is an artist, then she is the worst one I can ever imagine…
