paul robertson — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:27:00 +0000

N.p.: n.p., n.d. 30 x 21cm, black and white silver gelatine photograph from original negative taken at the press conference for Billy Kluver's 9 Evenings initiative where he attempted to include scientists and engineers in the arts to inform artists of new available technologies. John Cage is speaking and one can identify Billy Kluver, Öyvind Fahlström, Lucinda Childs, David Tudor, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg at the top table amongst others. This image was originally taken by Fred McDarrah and his estate retains copyright on the image so this is sold for personal use and not for reproduction. This is in very good condition and a crisp modern print (post 1990s we suspect) from original negative. If this was a vintage print we would charge much more.

Chicago: MOCA, 1967 23 x 21.5cm, 40pp plus covers. Group exhibition catalogue displaying works by diverse artists - Vostell, Brecht, Knowles, Johnson, Kaprow, Fahlstrom, Arakawa and Kitaj. The title is deceptive - the works are more Fluxus in their inception rather than relating to the concrete poetry movement of the same years but the title was perhaps of the moment. Each artist has 1pp of b/w photographs of works included. Slight scuffing to covers, otherwise very good.
