Fluxus artists looked for value in the commonplace, believing that art can be anywhere and belong to anyone. Fluxus artists variously included George Maciunas, Dick Higgins, Nam June Paik, Alison Knowles, Yoko Ono, Wolf Vostell, Emmett Williams, Ben Patterson, Takako Saito, La Monte Young, Meiko Shiomi, Jackson Mac Low, George Brecht, Ken Friedman, and more.
