Description: "Between 1983 and 1992 John Cage created some 170 pencil drawings, an intensive exploration of Japan's most famous Zen garden of the Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto. The Ryoanji drawings can be seen as the opus magnum of Cage's visual work, illustrating aethetic and conceptual reflections relevant to his entire oeuvre. In cooperation with Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, which owns an extensive selection of Ryoanji drawings, and the John Cage Trust in New York, Schirmer/Mosel is publishing John Cage - Ryoanji, which for the first time presents the complete series of drawings 'Where R = Ryoanji.'"--Publisher description.
