Cage, John
 
 
One page typed letter, signed (26 lines), dated Feb. 9, 1972 and sent from Cage's Bank Street, New York basement apartment. The letter is addressed to Jerry Novesky, and is apparently a response to an inquiry of Novesky's regarding Cage's relationships with Charles Olson and Buckminster Fuller at Black Mountain College, and asking if Cage views his own method of working as "organic." Cage responds in some detail about the excitement of first working alongside Olson at Black Mountain, but then describes his shrinking contact with and interest in  the poet. Cage also describes his initial concern for Fuller's reaction to his use of chance operations, in contrast to the great designer's "comprehensive design science." In fine condition, with the original stamped mailing envelope.
