The artwork titled “Waterdrop Painting (Version 1)” is by the artist Yoko Ono and spans a creation period from 1961 to 2015. It belongs to the Conceptual Art movement and falls under the installation genre.
The artwork features a minimalist setup within an indoor environment. An eye-dropper is suspended from the ceiling, with its tip directed towards the floor. The dropper appears to periodically release droplets of water, which accumulate in a small darkened circular area on the wooden floor below. This stark and contemplative piece accentuates the slow passage of time and the physical act of water dropping, inviting viewers to experience the ephemeral nature of the artwork and reflect on its conceptual depth. The wall and floor around the installation are unadorned, emphasizing the singular focus on the act of water falling into a designated spot, enhancing the meditative quality of the experience.
