This rare image of the transformational composer was taken in Buffalo, upstate New York, in March 1968.

It has been rediscovered and is now represented by Lebrecht Music&Arts.

The photograph, by Jim Tuttle, shows Cage taking part in a performance of David Rosenboom’s To That Predestined Dancing Place. Buffalo, in the late 1960s, was a hive of modernist activity.
