Graffiti is a forceful way of inscribing presence or "being" in the
world as well as a means of creating affective links to the potency
of natural wonders, religious shrines, and ancient ruins as well as
the contemporary cityscape. The photographic elevations presented
in this volume represent a graffiti-punctuated pilgrim's progress
built around the aesthetics of defacement. Graffiti- and
mural-covered walls, buildings, automobiles, and railcars are the
artful wonders, the vibrant shrines, and the dynamic ruins that
structured Larry Yust's pilgrimage to some of the most famed
metropolitan centers of the world. He has brought back panoramic
souvenirs; vistas that let us be there in a way that is perhaps
better than being there. This book celebrates the artistry and
audacity of the taggers and uncommissioned muralists who decorate
and deface contemporary cities.

Believing that one thing was real only insofar as it corresponded
with others, twentieth-century artist Ray Johnson highlighted the
connections between himself and other artists including Andy
Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Anni Albers, and especially Marcel
Duchamp. This study of Johnson through the lens of Duchamp and the
other artists who inspired him entails the investigation of
hieroglyphs, codes, action figures, queer theory, and cultural
history. By examining Johnson's collage and Correspondence art in
relation to his main inspirations, this critical work brings new
light to the study of Johnson and to the dynamic networks of
artistic inheritance and correspondence of the twentieth century.
