Scope and Contents

This review of "Ray Johnson:Correspondences" at the Whitney Mueum of American Art describes Johnson's collages as masterworks. "The visual elements they incorporated were equally diverse: pieces of photographs, magazine clips, commercial logos, abstract shapes, cartoons and above all, words: jokes, puns, anagrams, song lyrics, poetry, nonsense syllables, exclamations, dedications and lists of names of artists and actors, social luminaries and friends. The results amount to a consummate insider, a figure who was at once everywhere and nowhere in the art world, and who used his work to spin a personal myth." The Sackner Archive contains a collage of Johnson's. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
