The William S. Wilson Collection of Ray Johnson, acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago in 2018, was partially exhibited by the museum in the exhibition Ray Johnson \u2105 (November 26, 2021-March 21, 2022). The collection documents the life and career of Johnson, with particular strengths in the 1960s and 1970s. Assembled over six decades by Johnson\u2019s longtime friend, collaborator, and self-proclaimed "archivist," William "Bill" S. Wilson III (1932-2016), the collection comprises the original archives of the New York Correspondence School, along with Wilson's later additions. It includes original collages, design flyers, mail art, letters, photographs, and more, most of which Wilson arranged in more than 170 3-ring binders.<\/p>\n

Trained in metalwork at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Italian-born Harry Bertoia began his artistic career creating monoprints and jewelry, before moving on to design furniture for Knoll and large-scale metal sculptural forms for architectural projects during the postwar years. Related to the welded sculpture screens Bertoia created during the 1950s for the First National Bank of Miami and the USA Pavilion at the Brussels World\u2019s Fair, this work was exhibited and acquired by the Art Institute in 1954. Composed of thin rectangular, square, and ovoid shapes welded to rods, it suggests contemplation over nature. A study in form and space, Bertoia\u2019s sculpture screen, with its rich textural effects of molten metal and patina, among other surface treatments, is at once linear and organic.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"114.3 \u00d7 144.8 \u00d7 24.1 cm (45 \u00d7 57 \u00d7 9 1\/2 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":24,"width":144,"height":114,"diameter":null,"clarification":null}],"medium_display":"Steel, bronze, and silver","inscriptions":null,"credit_line":"Watson F.
