"YOKO ONO: FROM MY WINDOW," an exhibition featuring Yoko Ono's work, will run from November 8 to February 14, 2016, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. This exhibition reexamines Yoko Ono's work, which has previously been primarily discussed in the context of postwar American art, in the context of her hometown, Tokyo. The exhibition features materials and creative works from before she began her artistic career, her activities in Tokyo from the 1950s to the 1970s, and recent works. The exhibition will also feature rare works never before shown in Japan, including the extensive typescript of Yoko Ono's poetry collection "Grapefruit," published in 1964 as a culmination of her two-and-a-half-year stay in Tokyo, documented on postcards, and reproductions of the instructional drawings exhibited at Sogetsu Hall in 1962. Also on display will be a first edition of "Grapefruit" and handwritten instructional drawings.
