It got some attention though, and that was the point.

It was also a way to associate the peace movement with a more 
light-hearted attitude, a welcome relief from self-immolation and 
street demonstrations.

>The whole Bed-In thing really smacked of Yoko's touch

Certainly. It was really a Fluxus anti-art sort of thing. As Lennon 
commented, people came in expecting some sort of orgy but it was just 
a couple of people hanging out and talking about peace and 
affirmation.

Frankly, I wasn't at all aware of Yoko's art until she connected with 
John, but as I learned more about avant garde and conceptual art it 
became clear that Yoko was an important figure in that scene. I like 
her work.
