In 1993, while working on my book Mail Art: The Do-It-Yourself Letterbox From Workshop To Gatepost, I wrote to legendary U.S. artist Ray Johnson, the ‘father’ of mail art, seeking his views about homemade letterboxes. This is his reply, written in watercolour paint:
When I rode in Ray Johnson’s Car is wasn’t this GRANDE. We rode around Locust Valley, it was a Valley Wide trip.
Yours,
Years from Ray’s VW
