In 1966, Yoko Ono unveiled a work titled ‘Yes’. At the top of a ladder hung a magnifying glass. When you held the magnifying glass to the roof above, in a small, scratchy print, the word “Yes” was etched onto the ceiling. This was the piece that made John Lennon swoon. ”It was positive,” he reflected. ”I felt relieved. It’s a great relief when you get up the ladder and you look through the spyglass and it doesn’t say ‘no’ or ‘fuck you’ or something, it said ‘yes’.”Lennon later claimed that he knew little to nothing about Yoko Ono before the exhibition, and she stated the same about Lennon, the world’s most famous man at that point.
