Is there any contemporary art style she did not pioneer? At times this feels like a retrospective of Turner Prize winners: here's a film of a fly crawling on a woman's naked thigh that might be misattributed to Douglas Gordon or Damien Hirst; a cinematic celebration of bottoms Martin Creed might be proud of, a chair wrapped in desiccated fabric that is as poetic as any sculpture by Rachel Whiteread – all made by Ono more than 40 years ago.

I think you're onto something here, old chum. The true historical significance of Yoko Ono has been obscured due to the sexism and racism of the Western pop music industry. With your careful reconsideration of her importance, scholars will soon come to blame John Lennon for distracting her and undermining what could have been a world-changing career.
Make it happen, old chum!
the real unsung heroine is May Pang

PHILISTINES!!!
(Points for the obscure M.P. reference 'though.)
B4 is somewhat right as her visual-arts work got kind of soft and gloopy after she hooked up with him. I did not care for her as a musician. I'd also like to advert to a story that the breakup was totally Paul's and LInda's fault because of their insistence on releasing the stupid solo album at the same time as Let It Be, but I can't find the link any more.
