Autographed by John Cage to Terry Van Brunt and Robert Rauschenberg. This box came from Terry Van Brunt, who was the assistant to Robert Rauschenberg and donated many personal art pieces for a touring show of Robert Rauschenberg's work.

One of the most representative recordings of the musical genius of John Cage. A must for contemporary music collectors ! Features many of Cage's best known works, including the revolutionary and experimental "Williams Mix", a musique concrete project comprised of random sounds. Recorded in performance at Town Hall, NY May 15, 1958. Album produced by George Avakian. He is accompanied at various times by David Tudor. Comes with fantastic booklet and fullsize reprints of several Cage scores and diagrams. Some of the enclosed photos by Robert Rauschenberg, who along with Jasper Johns produced the concert. This set is extremely rare in this century and nearly impossible to find nowadays !
