Yoko Ono has announced plans to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Season of Glass by re-releasing the classic album.

The upcoming book, Listen… The Musical Universe of Yoko Ono (coming in 2027) is an extension of Madeline Bocaro’s biography, In Your Mind – the Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono.

From peace slogans to performance shocks: why Yoko Ono is back in the feed, in the museums, and on the art market radar right now.

Yoko Ono made headlines in the ‘60s as an artist and as the girlfriend of John Lennon

Most leaves have fallen this autumn, but at this "Wish Tree” in New York, they’re growing more bountiful.

Yoko Ono will stage her first solo museum exhibition in Southern California at the Broad museum this spring.

It was 20 years ago today that Yoko Ono visited Coventry Cathedral to plant a new pair of oak tree saplings as a symbol of peace.

The newly announced cultural institution collaborations include a new project by Ono, inspired by PEACE is POWER, a permanent installation at MoMA that the museum commissioned for its 2019 expansion. The MoMA installation covers the walls and ceiling of a long corridor gallery on the third floor of the museum with a sky blue gradient and messages reading “Imagine Peace,” “Spread Peace,” “Act Piece,” and “Think Peace” in white capital letters. On the opposite wall, the work’s title is engraved on the windows in 24 languages.

"Yoko Ono: Dream together at Neue Nationalgalerie is an exhibition featuring works from across Ono’s groundbreaking career. The exhibition invites viewers to move beyond passive observation and engage in active participation – both physically and mentally. Often beginning on an individual level, these actions evolve into broader collective efforts, demonstrating the transformative power of communal actions in working toward peace and imagining a different world."

The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago is thrilled to announce Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind, opening October 2025. The MCA is the exclusive US venue for this comprehensive solo exhibition dedicated to artist, musician, and activist Yoko Ono (b. 1933, Tokyo, Japan; lives in New York). Traveling from Tate Modern in London, where it enjoyed record attendance, and in close collaboration with Ono’s studio, this groundbreaking retrospective covers seventy years of Ono’s trailblazing career, with over 200 works including participatory instruction pieces and scores, installations, a curated music room, films, music and photography, and archival materials. The exhibition reveals Ono’s innovative approach to language, art, and participation that continues to speak to the present moment.

With three exhibitions running simultaneously this summer, the Japanese artist hovers over Berlin like a vast alien spacecraft, zapping us with cringeworthy one-liners, showering us with torrents of platitudes about peace and love. In a rare triple play, her Gropius Bau summer blockbuster coincides with the Neue Nationalgalerie’s exhibition and she’s even taken over the enormous Neue Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) billboard.

The past decade or so has brought a great reassessment of Ono. Beatles fans who stupidly blamed her for the band’s breakup have either piped down or realized the true root of the split: money, credit and basic human dynamics. Ono detractors, who mocked her wailing vocal performances, have perhaps realized that her work was not meant to play alongside the latest Doobie Brothers single. A list of respected popular artists — David Byrne, Lady Gaga, St. Vincent — have spoken of her influence.
