A monograph by American artist Ray Johnson, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York. The book highlights his late photographic works, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of his practice. Captured with disposable cameras, these fragments of everyday life evolve into a unique body of work he titled “Movie Stars,” where his collage-like sensibility carries over into photography. Drawn from a vast archive and presented here for the first time, these works reflect the artist’s continued experimentation and enduring commitment to creation until the end of his life.
