John Cage performing on Nam June Paik’s TV special called ‘Good Morning Mr. Orwell’ from 1984. In the beginning, we see that Cage is joined by Takehisa Kosugi and one other unidentified person. perhaps they were performing a composition or improvisation that they would have done during a Merce Cunningham dance. there is also a cut away to a Joseph Bueys piano performance art piece.
John Cage performing “Water Walk” in January, 1960 on the popular TV show I’ve Got A Secret.

“At the time, Cage was teaching Experimental Composition at New York City’s New School. Eight years beyond 4:33, he was (as our smoking MC informs us) the most controversial figure in the musical world at that time. His first performance on national television was originally scored to include five radios, but a union dispute on the CBS set prevented any of the radios from being plugged in to the wall. Cage gleefully smacks and tosses the radios instead of turning them on and off.
While treating Cage as something of a freak, the show also treats him fairly reverentially, cancelling the regular game show format to allow Cage the chance to perform his entire piece. “

New York Art Critic Offers Money, Sex for Fake Painting
New York Magazine’s art critic Jerry Saltz loves Gerhard Richter’s paintings. A lot. So much so that the three-time Pulitzer nominee offered either $1,000 or a sex act to any artist who could make him a replica.
—-of course Eric Doeringer’s name came up! Who else could dupe an authenticator—I want Eric to do it for my own selfish reasons, I want juicy icky details of the sex act!
