A faded red ink drawing on Strathmore paper, this self-titled work by Ray Johnson reflects the artist's signature blend of wit and enigmatic visual language. Johnson's use of the medium suggests an intimacy with the act of mark-making, while the subtle degradation of the red ink lends the piece a quiet, ephemeral quality. The choice to title the work after himself points to Johnson's ongoing preoccupation with identity, self-referentiality, and the blurring of boundaries between artist and artwork.
