This review is from: Ray Johnson: Please Add to & Return (Paperback)
I've long been disappointed that the few books on Ray Johnson are out of print, so this slim volume, commemorating the 2009 exhibition of his work at Raven Row (UK)and in Barcelona, will have to do for now. The book focuses on his early collages and mail-art. In the product description, the publishers describe this book as "lavishly illustrated." Not really accurate. The book measures about 8 x 10 inches and, while the quality of the color and reproduction is good, the size of the images leaves one wanting more. Additionally, the book is pretty text heavy (I think it's safe to say there is a 2:1 text-photo ratio) and most of that text is in Spanish. Further, the essays in the back of the book -- which are in English -- illuminate and help frame Johnson's work and life, but are printed on colored pages -- black type on an indigo page, for example -- making it challenging to read. No matter. On the whole, I'm glad to have found this.
