In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bruce Nauman’s work seemed to be marked by one of the last modern utopias: that of constructing a subject cut free from all psychological, social, and historical determinisms. Conceiving a subject outside the sound and fury, in the abstract space of the studio or white cube; exhibiting a neutral, transhistorical body. The symbolic space and the historical dimension of experience were repressed.

In this playful image, mail artist Ray Johnson wittily presents abstract painters Ad Reinhardt (1913-1967) and Agnes Martin (1912-2004) as a pair of fried eggs. Johnson creates a pun on each artist’s name to emphasize their rhyming qualities, changing “Reinhardt” to “Reinheart,” and “Martin” to “Heartin.”
The exhibition Artists on Artists remains on view through July 29.
