The Santa Monica presentation is noted as the first exhibited version of Ono’s \u003cem\u003eWishing Tree\u003c\/em\u003e, making this a modest but significant document in the early public history of one of her central participatory works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pairing records a specific mid-1990s Los Angeles moment. Lachowicz’s work was closely associated with feminist critique, reworking the authority of Minimalism and male art-historical form through cosmetics and bodily materials. Ono’s \u003cem\u003eWishing Tree\u003c\/em\u003e extended her long-standing instruction-based practice into a social, participatory structure: the viewer’s written wish became part of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card itself remains spare and administrative: centred type, cream stock, no image, blank reverse. It does not reproduce the artwork. It marks its placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small printed support for feminist critique, Fluxus afterlife, and participatory instruction entering 1990s gallery circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.
