A Pictures Book for John Cage Xmas 1984

A facsimile edition of a spiral-bound notebook filled with choreographic notation by Merce Cunningham (1919–2009), a leader of the American avant-garde and one of the most important choreographers and dancers of all time. This previously unpublished document is one of the most extensive elaborations of Cunningham’s choreographic notation in print, offering a rare glimpse into his methods, and in particular the stage work ‘Pictures’ (1984). With colour notations that blend drawing and dance, it makes a perfect gift for any fan of modern art or music.
