In his 2011 book
"Experimentalism Otherwise: The New York Avant-Garde and its Limits
," Benjamin Piekut re-evaluates the "canonical" history of experimental music by focusing on specific, often fraught moments in 1964 New York City.
While the book primarily focuses on five specific events—including the New York Philharmonic’s performance of John Cage’s Atlas Eclipticalis and Henry Flynt's anti-art demonstrations—Max Neuhaus serves as a critical figure in Piekut's broader analysis of how experimentalism moved beyond traditional concert settings.
