Grapefruit
Posted by Fabio 3 August 2010
Grapefruit is an Artist’s book written by Yoko Ono, originally published in 1964. It has become famous as an early example of Conceptual art, containing a series of ‘event scores’ that replace the physical work of art – the traditional stock-in-trade of artists – with instructions that an individual may, or may not, wish to enact. The name ‘Grapefruit’ was chosen as title because Ono believed the fruit to be a hybrid of an orange and a lemon, and thus a reflection of herself as a spiritual hybrid.
