Two major exhibitions will open at Tate Modern in the spring. The first will be dedicated to Yoko Ono, a leading figure in conceptual and performance art, experimental film and music.

Developing her practice in America, Japan and the UK, Ono is renowned for her activism, work for world peace, and environmental campaigns. Spanning more than six decades, the exhibition will include early performances, works on paper, objects, and music, as well as a selection of her activist projects such as PEACE is POWER and Wish Tree. In April this will be joined by Expressionists, a landmark exhibition made possible by unprecedented loans from Lenbachhaus, Munich.

 It will showcase over 130 works by The Blue Rider circle whose artistic friendships and collaborations transformed modern art in the early 20th century. These highly individual creatives, including Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter and Franz Marc, inspired one another to experiment with colour, sound and light, creating bold and vibrant paintings, sculptures, photographs and performances.
