Comment by Ruud Janssen on October 9, 2015 at 5:56pm: not for sale....

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 9, 2015 at 2:32pm: Yes, I prefer the post-1995 Ray Johnsons. In fact, I would pay $10.00 for any work Ray Johnson did after 1995.

Comment by jon foster on October 9, 2015 at 1:32pm: I have a fake Ray Johnson.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 9, 2015 at 1:48am: Richard Canard's fake Ray Johnsons are still a bargain.
