About this work

This is a yellow card with black handwriting. The top line reads *"Yoko Ono: 4 pieces for orchestra to La Monte Young."* Below that, four short words are listed: *Tear, Rub, Peel, Take off.* The piece is simple but asks you to do something—like rip or rub the card. It’s part of an art project where instructions matter more than the object itself. Want to see more work like this? Check out The Museum of Modern Art.
