The Head of Department gave her his watch. Her Armani-clad assistants blindfolded everyone with sanitary towels and she asked people to ask her questions. There was a long silence until the Head began a long and rambling question which also got no answer. He persevered until he was the only one who was still blindfolded. Everyone was laughing so he eventually took off his towel to find she had long gone - with his watch.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69723797008765485232019-03-31T09:24:39.894+01:002019-03-31T09:24:39.894+01:00Venice that year was a bit of a retrospective for ...Venice that year was a bit of a retrospective for her.

Several well known artists were invited to do a page of Christmas fun, and Yoko did two. One was a small circle of dotted lines, underneath of which was written 'cut the hole and see the sky'. I did cut the hole, and sent it with a ten bob note to her asking her to sign it (and the other page). I duly received them back; signed and dated. Whether by her or not; I don't know. I have them framed somewhere.

She was never very popular. I saw her work at the Venice Biennale a few years ago and was amazed that she had clearly been working all the time she was with John but it had not been high profile.
