First "Happening"
While serving in the US Army toward the end of the Second World War, a “Fluxus” artist by the name of Al Hansen pushed a piano from the roof of a building in Frankfurt, Germany. It is said that this was the first artistic “Happening”. Interesting that this movement traces its roots back to the destruction of a piano… This would later be repeated in America and eventually become known as the “Yoko Ono Piano Drop”. Unfortunately I could not find any documentation about the type of piano that was dropped.
