In 1960 Iannis Xenakis composed and recorded the soundtrack for a film commissioned by UNESCO (of the United Nations) by Enrico Fulchignoni. The film links disparate eras and cultures—a "contemplative homage to vanished cultures." Xenakis aimed to "translat[e] the perspective of men today when faced with the inheritance of their distant ancestors." The Fulchignoni film was presented in Paris at the Musee Cernuschi for the occasion of an exhibition about the recipocal influences of various civilizations, from Greece to Italy, all the way to Japan, passing through India and China along the way. Among the sound sources is a violin bow drawn over various objects. It has been described as "an electroacoustic piece for magnetic tape with four tracks." <br />

Someone has done us the favor of making 37 of the episodes available on YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZjO_fnL7gHhMksXWN5g3VVFIucHcrq8E">here</a>. One episode features the resurgence of fascism by way of a weekly magazine that has caused fights between the "Americans" and Puerto Ricans in a boys' club. Below is a screenshot of what Mr. Rivera, father of a boy who is stabbed in a scuffle with "Americans," reads in <i>Garnes</i> <i>Weekly</i>.<br />

Robert Rauschenberg, "Trophy II (for Teeny and Marcel Duchamp)" - 1960. <br />
<br />
From 1959 to 1962, Robert Rauschenberg created a series of "Trophies," highly personal combines dedicated to those artists who had most influenced him. In "Trophy II (for Teeny and Marcel Duchamp)," he repurposed a seven-panel white painting, inbuing it with vibrant color, aseemblage, and references to Duchamp and his wife, Teeny. The left-hand panel refers to Teeny with its inovcation of letters T and Y, while the right-hand panel is a stand-in for Duchamp and includes an aluminum sheet in an oblique reference to the reflective surface of <i>The Large Glass</i>. <br />
<br />
The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis <a href="http://collections.walkerart.org/item/object/328">owns this 1960 piece</a>. I saw it at the Rauschenberg/Cage/Duchamp/Cunningham show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in late December 2012.<br />

carrying all before it, it is on everyone's lips and in their heads."<br />
<br />
In an undated letter (from around 1960) Kenneth Koch wrote to Ashbery to
say that of all the poems Ashbery was sending over from Paris, poems
which were to form <i>The Tennis Court Oath</i>, "Europe" was the most
influential. Koch desperately says of this piece, "I can't seem to do
what you do. Huh! All I want to do is imitate you" (letter dated January
25, 1960).<br />
<br />
On January 7, 1960, O'Hara says of the "long poem" ("Europe"): it is "the most striking thing since The Waste Land."
