Scope and Contents
In the text printed on the dust jacket by William Wilson, Ray Johnson is described as living "a life that is a continuous revelation of pure and radiant design, the image of that life is art. Since the life itself is designed of coincidences, like a walk taking a line, the aesthetic reciprocal of that life is a Ray Johnson collage. Ray Johnson is not neo-dada or abstract or extract: he is an artist representing the reality of his life; it happens that his life is a collage." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
