A Poignant Moment:

The sight of pioneering modern dancer/choreographer Merce Cunningham, wheeled into today’s MoMA press preview by the museum’s president emerita, Agnes Gund, to see himself dance in Nam June Paik‘s 1993 untitled 15-television piece, with player piano. Cunningham and his frequent co-conspirator, composer John Cage, also featured in the videos, “shared with Paik an interest in chance, accident and humor,” as the wall label reminded us.
“Merce was over the moon to rediscover this piece,” the show’s curator, Joachim Pissarro, told the assembled art writers. Cunningham is the last surviving member of this legendary trio.
