“…The music critic Charles Rosen, observing that difficulty in the arts has characterized most great music and literature for centuries (Dante and Beethoven as well as Schoenberg and Stravinsky), wrote, in 1998, ‘A work that 10 people love passionately is more important than one that 10,000 do not mind hearing.’ Cunningham’s career exemplified that. And among the first 10 people to follow his work passionately were the artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.” [. . .] –Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times, December 22, 2011
