Dear Fluxlisters,
We passed the query about the Yoko Ono Piano Drop on to Ken Friedman. His answer follows:
'The quickest way to learn more about Al Hansen's Yoko Ono Piano Drop is to type the phrase "Yoko Ono Piano Drop" into Google for a web search. Use quotation marks to ensure that the search engine seeks the entire phrase in actual word order. The title pops up on many sites. Several sites explain that Al Hansen retitled the work in the 1960s.'
He went on to say that he does not know whether these facts are correct. Possible, he writes, 'this is simply an urban legend of the Internet repeated endlessly from one site to the next.'
Mr. Friedman seems to believe that the title is credible enough.
Learning the exact answer would require some archival work or a query to the Hansen estate or some careful book work in a properly equipped library. We do not have the resources for more work. We hope this answers the question
Sincerely,
Secret Fluxus
