An extremely rare special edition from 1963, American avant-garde composer La Monte Young, famous for his experimental and minimalist works, as well as his association with the conceptual Fluxus movement in New York and an inspiration for The Velvet Underground, produced this book-as-work-of-art as an extension of his Composition No. 10 1960 ('Draw a Straight Line and Follow it'). Beginning on January 1st and repeating roughly every 13 days through December 31, the same instruction continues throughout this tiny, scarce gem of a publication.
