{"product_id":"merce-cunningham-15653","title":"Merce Cunningham - 15653","description":"American dancer who became a colossus of 20th Century choreography.\n\nCunningham's career in dance, which lasted more than 60 years, began in 1939 when, as a Seatle-based student, he was invited by Martha Graham to join her company in New York.\n\nHe frequently collaborated with artists in other fields, including musicians John Cage, David Tudor and Brian Eno, graphic artists Robert Rauschenberg, Bruce Nauman, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Jasper Johns, and the fashion designer Rei Kawakubo. Works that he produced with these artists had a profound impact on avant-garde art beyond the world of dance.\n\nCunningham's life and artistic vision have been the subject of numerous books, films, and exhibitions, and his works have been presented by groups including the Paris Opéra Ballet, New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and London's Rambert Dance Company.\n\nThis is a very fine black and white photograph (8\" x 10\") of Cunningham in 1973 by Penny Brogden, beautifully signed in black ink across the lower white margin.
