Everyone knows her name, but nobody knows what she does
Yoko Ono, now 90, is world-famous as a widow, but less so as an artist. For some Beatles fans she remains just the "Fluxus witch" who manipulated John Lennon and destroyed the best of all bands. That's not fair.
Born on February 18, 1933 in Tokyo , in the 60s she was among the first members of Fluxus, a group of avant-garde artists, and among the first to explore conceptual installations and artistic performances. And it is precisely the day before the opening of her exhibition at the Indica Gallery in London, in 1966, that she meets John Lennon, whom she will marry three years later in Gibraltar. Sean was born on October 9, 1975, on her father's birthday, with whom she will, however, manage to live for a few years, as the singer was assassinated on December 8, 1980.
To leave your wish , or plant a tree, just go to Wish Tree For Yoko Ono and write what you want or even make a payment to One Tree Planted. At the time of writing, the virtual installation has collected over 1,200 wishes and nearly 6,000 trees planted. Many celebrities have paid homage to Yoko Ono by wishing her well: among these stand out those of Ringo Starr, Elton John with her husband David Furnish, Julian Lennon, son of John and his first wife Cynthia , Liam Gallagher, and Annie Leibovitz.
