Dame Of Love

Yoko Ono charms Beijing audiences with her quirky persona and a solo exhibition. Lin Qi reports.

The 82-year-old conceptual artist and singer Yoko Ono was in Beijing late last week for her exhibition Golden Ladders, which is being held at a Faurschou Foundation gallery in the city's 798 art district.

In her signature black clothes, complete with a pair of dark sunglasses and a hat tilted to the right side of her head, the Japanese-born widow of British pop legend John Lennon reminded her fans that she was still full of energy.
