LONDON (AP) — Before there was John and Yoko — and after — there was just Yoko Ono.
Yet that period forms just a small part of an exhibition opening this week at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
One of the largest shows of Ono’s work ever mounted, it includes seven decades of work by the artist, who turns 91 on Sunday.
In her landmark 1964 performance “Cut Piece,” she gave gallery visitors scissors and invited them to snip away at her clothes.
For an exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in the 1970s, Ono falsely claimed to have released hundreds of flies soaked in perfume for gallery visitors to find.
