Immigrant of the Day: Yoko Ono From Japan | Conceptual Artist
Yoko Ono From Japan | Conceptual Artist
As a member of the avant-garde artist collective Fluxus, Yoko Ono gained notice in New York’s underground art scene in the 1960s for her conceptual art that synthesized a wide variety of media and traditions. After gaining international fame as John Lennon’s wife and collaborator, she weathered controversy to prove herself a legitimate and enduring artist and musician. She has released numerous solo albums since the 1970s, and continues to showcase her art in exhibitions, performances, and retrospectives.
John Lennon was the center of a famous U.S. immigration case decades ago that continues to be discussed.
