£600.00
An original invitation for Yoko Ono’s Watertalk/This Is Not Here exhibition. It ran from October 9 (John Lennon’s 31st birthday) to October 21, 1971 and featured works by Yoko, John and several of their friends. Yoko explained the origins of the exhibition’s title:
“I had a room in London, and the first room was extremely small, and there was this huge, huge some kind of closet – not exactly a closet but this huge thing was right in the middle of it and you couldn’t move it because it was so heavy. So I just put (a note on it saying) “This Is Not Here”. And then I thought “Wow, this is great… That’s how the instructions developed.”
The invitation lists John Lennon as a guest artist. The right hand side of the invitation is printed with text in the shape of a bottle which requests the invitee to participate in helping Yoko produce a water sculpture. The left side features a poem written by Yoko in 1967.
When open the invitation measures 28cm x 21.5cm (11 inches x 8.5 inches). The condition is very good plus.
