Merce Cunningham, frequently referred to as the greatest living choreographer, died last night in his Manhattan home at the age of 90.

Visit http://www.merce.org/mondayswithmerce.html to see a series of recent videos of his dancers and other dance-makers speaking about his influence as well as the artist himself talking about his work.

A longer remembrance of this great American artist to follow.
