Not Wanting to Say Anything About Marcel (Plexigram III)
1969
This screenprint on Plexiglas and walnut from 1969 combines multiple materials to create an interactive visual experience. Cage's work plays with transparency and reflection, using the Plexiglas support as an integral part of the artistic statement. The walnut elements provide structural and aesthetic contrast to the translucent printed surface. The title references Marcel Duchamp while maintaining Cage's characteristic silence about artistic intention. This Plexigram represents an experimental fusion of printmaking, sculpture, and conceptual art.
