This volume collects 42 collages made by Johnson between 1966 a nd 1994, most never exhibited or published before, with a new essay by writer Brian Gooch, who first came into contact with Johnson when he began receiving unsolicited mail art shortly before the artist's death. The collection of works in this volume shows the artist at his most expansive, combining art history with celebrity, word with image and the personal with the universal.ISBN 9781944929114.
