(preceded by a long discussion of difficulties with illegal copies of his bronze Flag)

This wasn’t the first time that Johns had encountered a counterfeit of one of his works. Art dealer Michael Findlay tells us of an incident from 1969 when a friend showed him a large charcoal drawing of a coat hanger signed “J.Johns.” Something about the drawing didn’t seem right to Findlay, and he convinced the owner to allow him to show it to Johns. According to Findlay, “Wordlessly, Johns examined the work then asked he could remove it from the frame. When he did, and turned it over, we could see that the back was softly scored in pencil horizontally and vertically. A soft ‘Ahh’ escaped from Johns. He explained that what we were looking at was the design for a mailer advertising one of his prints.” The artist was puzzled. “What should I do?” he asked aloud. After a few seconds, Johns found a red pen and across the bottom of the drawing wrote “This is not my work” and signed it with a large and distinctive signature. In a way, Findlay said, it became a work signed by the artist.
