Footnotes

Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Cleaning Piece by Yoko Ono draws inspiration from the artist's "action poems" featured in her 2013 publication, Acorn, which serves as a follow-up to Ono's earlier conceptual art book, Grapefruit. These poems serve as thought-provoking cues, encouraging readers to contemplate profound reflections centered around specific activities found in nature, domestic environments, and various visual and sensory experiences.
