John Lennon and Yoko Ono pooled their artistic resources to create this piece of " sculpture" for an exhibition in Coventry Cathedral ruins. The circular wrought iron seat was placed just outside the ruins as the organisers said it wasn t a sculpture as such and should not be amongst well known sculptors such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworths work. In the centre of the seat they planted 2 acorns which were later pinched. The plaque which carried the name of the work " Yoko by John and John by Yoko" was also pinched soon afterwards.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Collaborative Sculpture - A Symbol of Artistic Unity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In June 1968, the iconic duo John Lennon and Yoko Ono joined forces to create a unique piece of artwork for an exhibition in Coventry Cathedral ruins. This print captures their collaborative effort - a circular wrought iron seat placed just outside the ruins. The organizers deliberately excluded this creation from being classified as a traditional sculpture, as they believed it didn't belong among renowned sculptors like Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Instead, they considered it an unconventional artistic expression that defied categorization. At the heart of this intriguing seat lay two acorns symbolizing growth and potential. Unfortunately, these symbolic seeds were later stolen, leaving behind only their memory. The plaque attached to the artwork bore its title: "Yoko by John and John by Yoko". However, even this commemorative marker fell victim to theft shortly after its installation. Despite these setbacks, the essence of Lennon and Ono's collaboration remained intact - a testament to their shared creativity and vision. This photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era defined by artistry, innovation, and cultural revolution. It encapsulates not only the spirit of The Beatles but also showcases how artists can come together to challenge conventions while leaving lasting imprints on history.
