The archives include manuscripts, correspondence, programs, posters, playbills, scrapbooks and other materials documenting the composer's life and work. Through six decades of prolific creation as a composer, pianist, philosopher, writer and artist, Cage has led the avant-garde movement, continually redefining 20th century music and art. Cage has composed more than 150 pieces for virtually all media. As a graphic artist he has exhibited prints, collages and paintings throughout the United States and Europe. In 1989, Cage was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters and received the Kyoto Prize given by the Inamori Foundation.
