Description

Ray Johnson: A Study in Ephemeral Art. This comprehensive study offers a nuanced exploration of Ray Johnson's life and work, tracing his artistic development from 1945 to 1995. Johnson's practice was marked by constant flux, shifting between collage, performance, and correspondence art, as well as its tone and address to potential audiences. Through an elliptical narrative that circles around the elusive artist, Ellen Levy evokes Ray Johnson's world in the moment of its making, drawing readers into his orbit while also making them feel familiar with it. The book provides a vital portrait of an American original, shedding light on the artists who influenced him and those he befriended, including Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Allan Kaprow, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol. Suitable for readers new to Ray Johnson or those already familiar with his work, this book offers a complete and insightful portrait of an artist whose subversive take on the aesthetic of his time will forever alter our understanding of their shared artistic landscape.
