- Description
- A year after showing Hommage à John Cage at Galerie 22 in Germany, Paik performed Etude for Piano Forte. During this performance, Paik suddenly stopped playing onstage, leaped down to Cage sitting in the audience, and cut his tie with scissors. After doing so, Paik poured a bottle of shampoo over the head of the pianist David Tudor who had collaborated on many works with Cage. The piano played by Paik in this performance is also displayed in this exhibition.
