Yoko Ono
the biography
All you need ist love! Avant-garde, provocative, and controversial: Yoko Ono was already a well-known artist when she met John Lennon. Soon, the two of them became the most famous
couple not only within the wider entourage of the Beatles, but in the whole music scene. Themes such as spirituality, pacifism, and an uncompromising rejection of the bourgeoisie characterise her work. This book particularly focusses on her collaborations with her son Sean, on the way she deals with John Lennon’s legacy, and on her own artistic initiatives. Numerous terms, e.g. »bed-in«, are inextricably linked with Yoko Ono, the most important representative of the Fluxus movement in the US. In 2009, she was honoured with the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the Venice Biennale. In this comprehensive biography, bestselling Author Nicola Bardola tells us about Yoko Ono’s unique approach to art and her fascinating life story. Nicola Bardola, born in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1959, worked as a library and publisher’s editor in Munich, Germany, and wrote for the daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung as well as the weekly newspaper Die Zeit. He was the chief editor of Eselsohr, a magazine for youth media, and has published numerous
books such as the novel Schlemm (2005) and the non-fiction book The Twilight Phenomenon about author Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight mania she caused. His biography John Lennon – Turning Points (2010) led to his intensive preoccupation with Yoko Ono.
