Notes

Book dimensions: 13.8 cms x 3.2 cms x 13.8 cms.

The author, poet, and conceptual artist's first book.

First published in 1964 in Tokyo by Yoko Ono under the name Wunternaum Press in an edition of 500 copies, preceding the UK edition by four years.

Grapefruit contains more than 150 works divided into five sections: MUSIC, PAINTING, EVENT, POETRY, OBJECT. This ground-breaking conceptual piece is made up of "event scores", a series of actions, ideas, or instructions that take the place of physical works of art and can be performed by another individual.

Since the initial publication of Grapefruit, numerous expanded editions have been produced in many different languages.
