        This is quite a remarkable book. Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind. https://www.amazon.com/Yoko-Ono-Music-Juliet-Bingham/dp/0300276346 

        Covering Yoko Ono's entire career as an artist, with detailed accompanying photographic illustrations (finally), through which you begin to have a clearer understanding of what she was attempting to portray to us. The early photographic evidence of her performances with her first husband, musician Toshi Ichiyanagi is of much interest, as well as the performance photographs of Ono with John Cage, Anthony Cox, Ornette Coleman and John Lennon. This is the first time that all of the phases of her Conceptual Art, from beginning to now, have been collected in one place; and the photo accompaniment to the written story is masterfully presented. Very well done!
