Gift from Bill Wilson - USA

(cover)

From BMC to NYC - The Tutelary Years of Ray Johnson 1943-1967. Issued by Black Mountain College - Museum Arts Center. Published in 2010 (ISBN 0-9774138-2-9). The 48 pages thick booklet has several articles in it and is highly illustrated in full color. The show was curated by Sebastian Matthews.

The catalogue includes these articles:

Message(s) in a Bottle - Notes of an Unlikely Curator (Sebastian Matthews)

My Ray - A personal Recollection (Arthur Secunda)

How to make an artist - The teaching of Josef Albers and Ray Johnson's Work (Julie J. Thomson)

Code Word; Ray (Kate Erin Dempsey)

Ray Johnson Aboveboard (William S. Wilson)


Illustration in the catalogue on page 17 : RAY in Josef Albers'class at Black Mountain College 1945-48 , Photo by Hazel Larsen Archer.

The catalogue contains illustrations that are new to me. Probably because the writers of the articles show some works from their collections.
