John Lennon and Yoko Ono

War Is Over! If You Want It. Love and Peace from John & Yoko. [1969]

Offset print (762 x 508 mm). Circular blind stamp to lower right corner reading "Lennon - Ono | Certified 1970 - 1974 | Original Gallery Ad."

A fine copy of the "War Is Over!" poster. As part of Ono and Lennon's activism for peace, the pair launched a 1969 media campaign in which they purchased space on a series of billboards around the world, which broadcasted the message: "War is Over | if you want it | Happy Christmas from John and Yoko." In tandem with that effect, fliers and posters were printed and distributed to passersby and hung in nearby homes.
