Merce Cunningham and the Aesthetic of Collage

Abstract

Collage has been central to Cunningham's work from the very beginning in the 1950s. Unlike Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk, which exemplifies a hunger for wholeness, collage appeals to an age that has come to distrust claims of closure, “unity,” and fixed boundaries.
