16 x 16cm. Paperback, unpaginated [32pp]. A detailed illustrated overview of the dance company's work up to 1963, designed by Marc Ratliff and edited by David Vaughan, published by the newly-founded Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts set up to support works by avant-garde artists and composers. The year of publication also marked Cunningham's groundbreaking site-specific Walker Art Center New York performances. Foreword by John Cage, who was the musical director for the most of the company's 1963 season (with David Tudor on piano), and Robert Rauschenberg designing the costumes and lighting arrangements. John Wulp supplied some of the photography, including the cover. A series of dances conceived by Cunningham are showcased. From Cage's foreword: "It is assumed that the dance supports itself and does not need support from the music. The two arts take place in a common place and time, but each art expresses this Space-Time in its own way. The result is an activity of interpenetrations in time and space, not counterpoints, nor controlled relationships, but flexibilities as are known from the mobiles of Alexander Calder." A rare and early Merce Cunningham Studio item, with OCLC locating only one copy at New York Public Library. Slightly sunned covers with small areas of abrasion, otherwise very good condition.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. poster / programme, 36,5x29,5 cm. // Document from the stop of Merce Cunningham Dance Company during its 6 month long tour around Europe and Asia at Biennale in Venice. Single performance featuring John Cage as music director, Robert Rauschenberg as resident designer and stage manager, composer and musician David Tudor. This event occurred in the shadow of the allegedly rigged winning of Biennale s grand prize by Robert Rauschenberg, apparently a heavy mix of soft and hard power politics on the part of the US. The company performed accompanied by compositions by John Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi and Morton Feldman. Full details printed recto. Extremely rare piece - even more than the oblong letterpress publicity poster. // folded twice, small tear along left extremity of fold line.

Poster, measuring 27 1/2 x 38 inches; poor condition; a rolled copy that is very toned / browned with many tears to edges including: a 6-inch tear at "Cunningham" on right edge; a 3-inch tear at both left and right edges; and edges are very chipped with many small losses; many scattered stress creases throughout including vertical crease down center. As is. Although not stated on the poster; this was probably for the performance at Teatro La Fenice Venice June 18 1964 for which other smaller posters were produced. Will be mailed rolled.
