Editing Ray Johnson (section)

==Death==

On January 13, 1995, Johnson was seen diving off a bridge in [[Sag Harbor]], Long Island, and backstroking out to sea.<ref name="artpool" /><ref name="1stdigital" /> His body washed up on the beach the following day. Many aspects of his death involved the number "13": the date; his age, 67 (6+7=13); the room number of a motel he had checked into earlier that day, 247 (2+4+7=13), etc. Some continue to speculate about a 'last performance' aspect of Johnson's drowning. Hundreds of collages were found carefully arranged in his home. He left no will and his estate is now administered by fine art dealership [[Adler Beatty]].<ref name="estate">{{Cite web|url=http://www.rayjohnsonestate.com/index.php|title=Ray Johnson Estate|website=www.rayjohnsonestate.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Institution |first=Smithsonian |title=A performance-art death |url=https://www.si.edu/object/performance-art-death%3AAAADCD_item_13559 |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=Smithsonian Institution |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Tashjian|first1=Rachel|title=Meet Ray Johnson, the Greatest Artist You've Never Heard Of|url=http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/01/ray-johnson-art-pranks|magazine=Vanity Fair|date=21 January 2015 |access-date=4 July 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Harvey |first=Dennis |date=2002-02-09 |title=How to Draw a Bunny |url=https://variety.com/2002/film/awards/how-to-draw-a-bunny-1117916955/ |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref>
