Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1977, the New York-based artist William Anastasi (born 1933) began playing chess with John Cage. At that time, Anastasi was living in Harlem and would travel to Cage's 18th Street apartment via the subway.0The journey became the perfect opportunity to revive his earlier experiments of creating seismographic "unsighted" drawings. With a lap-size sheet of paper, Anastasi allowed the movement of the subway to literally "make the drawing.0'The Blind Drawings: 1963-2018' were created using two-dozen unsighted strategies. With works spanning 56 years, this volume gathers Anastasi's Dot Drawings, Subway Drawings, Walking Drawings, Pocket Drawings, Blind Self-Portraits, Waterfall Drawings, X Drawings, Eyebrow Drawings, Burst Drawings, Resignation Drawings, Drop Drawings and Still Drawings.00Exhibition: Marlborough Gallery, London, UK (12.11.2019-18.01.2020).
