John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono could end up stark naked on a Paris stage as she performs her one-woman art show "Cut Piece", in which members of the audience are to cut off pieces of her clothing.

Ono, 70, who accompanied her Beatle husband in numerous controversial anti-war campaigns including the "Bed-In for Peace" against the Vietnam War, first performed her "Cut Piece" show in 1964 in Japan as a protest for peace.

At the end of the show, she stood naked before her audience.

"Come and cut a piece of my clothing wherever you like --- the size of less than a postcard --- and send it to the one you love," the avant-garde artist said in a statement ahead of the performance at Paris' Ranelagh theatre.

"When I first performed this work, in 1964, I did it with some anger and turbulence in my heart. This time, I do it with love for you, for me and for the world."
