Mushroom Book Plate X (1972) by John Cage – Framed Art Print

Elevate your space with John Cage's Mushroom Book Plate X (1972), a museum-quality reproduction that captures the avant-garde spirit of this iconic American composer and visual artist. This fine art print is part of Cage's celebrated mycological series, where he merged chance operations with natural observation to create intricate, grid-based compositions that reflect his fascination with fungi and indeterminacy. Printed on archival museum-quality paper with a matte, uncoated finish, it offers a tactile, gallery-worthy presence that resists fading for generations.

Our framed art print arrives ready to hang, featuring a responsibly sourced black wooden frame made from oak and ash wood. At 20mm thick and wide—wider than the classic 14mm frame—it provides a bold, modern border that enhances the artwork's detailed lines. The print is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, ensuring durability without glare, while the FSC-certified, 250 gsm paper (0.29 mm thick) delivers a premium, natural white base ideal for fine art display. Measuring 70x100 cm (28x40 inches), this piece is perfect for adding a touch of experimental artistry to any room.

Did you know? Cage's mushroom studies, created in the early 1970s, were influenced by his interest in Zen Buddhism and the I Ching, using random processes to arrange the fungal specimens—a technique that blurred the lines between art, science, and philosophy.
