Yours truly,Contemporary artist Yoko Ono will be honoured at the 2009 Venice Biennale with a Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement.
Yoko Ono, along with California conceptual artist John Baldessari, is one of two artists singled out for their enduring influence in the avant-garde of contemporary art at this year’s Biennale, the 53rd International Art Exhibition in Venice.
Biennale director Daniel Birnbaum emphasised the international scope of the exhibition in the selection of both Ono and Baldessari for the prestigious prize. “The Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement are celebrating two artists whose avant-garde work has opened new possibilities of poetic, conceptual and social expression for artists around the world, who work through all types of language,” said Birnbaum.
