{"title":"La Monte Young \/ Marian Zazeela","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Monte Young (born 1935, Bern, Idaho) is an American composer and musician widely regarded as a founding figure of minimalism, drone music, and Fluxus-adjacent experimental practice. His \u003cem\u003eComposition 1960\u003c\/em\u003e series — a set of text-based instruction pieces produced between 1960 and 1961 — established him as a central figure in the downtown New York experimental milieu surrounding John Cage, Richard Maxfield, and the loft concert scene. Young’s work has been foundational to subsequent developments in minimalist composition, sound art, and conceptual music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarian Zazeela (born 1940, New York) is an American visual artist and light sculptor who has collaborated with Young since the early 1960s. Her graphic and calligraphic work, light environments, and visual realizations have been integral to Young’s performances and installations, including the long-running \u003cem\u003eDream House\u003c\/em\u003e environments. Her graphic work from the early 1960s — including abstract image fields produced in connection with experimental performances — sits at the intersection of visual art, score, and performance document.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together printed matter and ephemera connected to Young and Zazeela’s practice and performances.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"young-zazeela-composition-1960-13-lithograph-1962","title":"La Monte Young \/ Marian Zazeela — Composition 1960 #13, Performance 10 20 62 — Offset Lithograph, New York, 1962","description":"\u003cp\u003eOffset lithograph\u003cbr\u003eNew York, 1962\u003cbr\u003e10 × 20 cm\u003cbr\u003eSingle unfolded sheet, blank verso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal 1962 offset lithograph produced in connection with a performance of La Monte Young’s \u003cem\u003eComposition 1960 #13\u003c\/em\u003e with Marian Zazeela.
