Career

Cage’s work has been described as on the “cutting edge of surrealism in sculpture” for her time. Cage is believed to have been the "female performer" who smashed a lime ricky bottle into a can of broken glass at the culmination of John Cage"s Construction in Metal. In 1943, Cage exhibited an abstract mobile in Peggy Guggenheim"s show Exhibition by 31 Women at the Guggenheim Museum in New New York

The next year, Cage had a solo exhibition of her mobiles at the Julien Levy Gallery in New New York

Cage notably collaborated with artists Joseph Cornell and Marcel Duchamp as a bookbinder, and designed a chess table in tandem with a set created by Max Ernst. Cage also worked as a conservator at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New New York
