Two decades later, Gunnar Kaldewey decided to carry out the joint project and selected texts from John Cage’s “Lecture on Something” and “For the Birds.” - “This is a very personal book. In the early ’90s, I met John Cage many times, and he came to our home in Manhattan to look at the artist books I had created up to that point. We agreed to collaborate on a project with the working title ‘Observations on Zen,’ but John said he needed time to gather ideas. Then, he suddenly died in 1992, and I have always been saddened that nothing was ever finalized.” (G. Kaldewey). The spine of the book is faded. Unfortunately, the yellow leather of the covers has some light foxing spots.
