  • Kishin Shinoyama, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Double Fantasy, Signed Limited Edition
    By Yoko Ono 1, Kishin Shinoyama
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Partners in life and art. Intimate portraits of John and Yoko. Renowned for his sensual, provocative images, Kishin Shinoyama is one of Japan’s most controversial and acclaimed artists, at once hailed by critics and charged for public indecency. Photographing everything from antiques to porn stars, Shinoyama is particularly recognized for his work with pop icons and celebrities, and the rare, private moments he captures with very public personalities. Through his lens, world-famous faces often reveal an unexpected openness and vulnerability. This capacity for ease and intimacy is perhaps most poignantly expressed in his beautiful series of photographs of Yoko Ono and John Lennon, shot at Ono’s request for the cover and promotion of the couple’s celebrated 1980 album, Double Fantasy...
