The most influential Japanese artist of the post-World War II modernist period, popular mostly in the United States. Pop culture made her name known in Hungary.

Born in Tokyo on 18 February 1933, she has released thirty-three albums, shot more than sixty films and wrote numerous books, but the most significant part of her oeuvre relates to visual arts: a descendant of the famous samurai, she became a school-creating master of conceptual art.

Her aristocratic origin enabled her to share a high school class with Akihito, the later emperor, to become the first Japanese woman to study philosophy at university, to collaborate with composer John Cage by the age of twenty, to start working with John Lennon, and to list the names of the many outstanding artists with whom she had a personal working relationship, but perhaps it is better to state that Yoko Ono has built her own oeuvre on her own. From this significant oeuvre, this exhibition presents works that relate to the themes of peace and yearning for peace.

Yoko Ono has been to Budapest several times, one of her works is in the public collection here, and she has exhibited her works in Hungary, but never before has she had a special exhibition like this in the Hungarian capital.

This exhibition was motivated by the war in Ukraine. We are sure that the works on display here may be able to reveal shades that the public discourse cannot. In this way, we can help the victims of the war more. We can get closer to peace.
