Description
Ray Johnson's artistic vision was deeply intertwined with his everyday life. Born in Detroit and educated at Black Mountain College, Johnson moved to New York, where he became a key figure in early Pop art and Fluxus circles. His work spanned various mediums, including collages and Mail art activities. In "That Was the Answer: Interviews with Ray Johnson", eleven conversations from 1963 to 1987 offer insight into his unique approach to art and life. These exchanges, which include exhibition ephemera, oral history, radio transcripts, and magazine articles, showcase Johnson's humor and attention to language. This collection provides a valuable introduction to Johnson's work and offers a deeper understanding of his artistic methods.
