The artwork, titled “Danger Box,” was created by Yoko Ono in 1966 and is associated with the Conceptual Art and Neo-Dada movements. This piece falls within the genre of sculpture.
“Danger Box” is a minimalist sculpture consisting of a transparent rectangular box, likely made of plexiglass or a similar material. The simplicity of its form starkly contrasts with its evocative title. Within the confines of this clear structure, a circular cutout is prominently featured on one side. Affixed to the box are metal plaques; one bearing the title “DANGER BOX 1966,” and the other containing a reflective or possibly instructional inscription. The interplay of transparency and implied danger elicits contemplation from viewers, consistent with the Conceptual Art movement’s emphasis on ideas and intellectual engagement over traditional aesthetic values.
