Painting to Be Stepped On Acrylic and graphite on canvas with metal placard, 20 3/16 × 15 13/16 × 1 3/4” (51.2 × 40.2 × 4.5 cm). An early conceptual work from Ono’s instruction-based practice: a canvas placed on the floor inviting viewers to step on it, challenging the sanctity of the art object and anticipating Fluxus and participatory art.
