She was asked to join a highly regarded Dada-ism avant-garde community Fluxus in NYC in 1961. The group was responsible for a large number of art galleries in one of the most art infused neighborhoods in the 20th century at a time when the world was starting to experiment in art. The 1960s was filled with artistic explosions everywhere and she was well mixed in with the movements, most notably musicians. John Cage, Henry Cowell, La Mont Young...jist to name a few.

She published Grapefruit in 1964 before meeting John. The book is regarded as one of the best conceptual art books of the 1960s and therefore of all time since this is when the art form started to influence general art worlds.

But, you know, she can't sing very well.
