Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono - Hardcover

An instruction manual for art and life. Yoko Ono's aphoristic drawings and prompts question what art can be.

Grapefruit is a conceptual artwork that exists on the page. Rather than objects or performances, Ono offers instructions: "Paint until you drop." "Whisper to the plants." These prompts have generated artworks, conversations, and ways of seeing.

Assign this in studio courses, interdisciplinary seminars, and anywhere you want to stretch what "art" means. It's a text that teaches by permission.
