The
Ray Johnson Estate and Karma are pleased to present an exhibition of
previously unseen work by Ray Johnson (1927–1995). Visit Karma's website
here.
American popular culture and the environment of the “art world,”
combined with a sly use of puns, codes, inside jokes and signature wit
mixed with piercing perceptiveness, comprise the frame for much of
Johnson’s work. Using his own brand of semantic structure, Johnson
creates complex and multi-layered portraits—of himself and of other
subjects.
A comprehensive publication will be released in
conjunction with the exhibition, which includes 296 color illustrations
of collages, drawings, interventions and other ephemera.
This exhibition is presented in cooperation with the Ray Johnson Estate, Richard L. Feigen & Co., and Jay Gorney.
