Note du spécialiste

The present work is a portrait of William Burroughs. Ray Johnson traced his silhouette on May 15, 1976 as part of his Silhouette Project. The smaller, purple portrait within the wider work is a silhouette of William "Terry" Kistler, a poet and collector. The present work is coming from Galen Williams, the founder of Poets & Writers and former director of the 92nd Street Y Poet's Center.
