Check out this provocative list of 10 unique works of art (they're not really billed as the most unique, but perhaps only because that would be a misuse (arguably) of the superlative). I myself hadn't heard of all of them, but the ones I know certainly seem to fit in. I was most excited to see Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, and I'm most freshly motivated to go find a copy of Marienbad.
Thanks for this -- much more interesting than most ten-best lists, and I too am inspired to give Marienbad another whirl. (How did I know the Cage piece was going to be on the list?)
Yeah, the Cage piece was a pretty obvious choice. It might have been nice to see Varese's Ionisation on there, although it's hard to make a case for that instead of 433.
