The Pandemonium Spirit, 1986

 Item — Box 341: [Barcode: 31858072491263]
Identifier: CC-21381-21792
Scope and Contents

According to Kettner, "First (and only) edition. Average press run for Bomb Shelter: 300-500 copies. From brief author's introduction 'In these writings and collages some "other," the "rawspirit," does the speaking. For that reason any attempt to understand this in a linear or logical context will be difficult or impossible. I see pandemonium as a break from the strictures of codified behavior into a liberated existence.'" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Paper Snake / Johnson, Ray ; Higgins D ; Fine AM ; Knowles A ; Herms G ; DiPrima D ; Stein G., 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-27299-27862
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.
