Introduction |
George Maciunas, editor.
Everson Catalogue Box.
New York: Fluxus Editions, 1971.
Acquired in part through the Kenyon Law Starling and Robert L. Goldman Funds.
This is a rare edition featuring one of Fluxus's most famous artists: Yoko Ono. Specially designed by George Maciunas, the box contains assemblage, inked footprints of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on paper, a glass key, miniature plastic boxes, printed scores, a painted work on paper, and a paperback copy of Yoko Ono's artists' book Grapefruit, a seminal text for conceptual art. As the recent traveling exhibition of Yoko Ono's work at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art demonstrated, her longstanding reputation as a Fluxus a∂iliate, a performance artist, and a maker of films and books, transcends her popular reputation as the wife of John Lennon. The Everson show of the early 1970s was critical in solidifying her place in the international art world. |
