Rediscover Jasper Johns with this exhibition.
Born in 1930, artist Jasper Johns is an award winning American painter, sculptor and printmaker. When his paintings of flags and targets debuted in 1958, they brought him instant acclaim and established him as a critical link between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.
“An Art of Changes” is a rare opportunity to survey six decades of Johns’s work in printmaking through a selection of some 90 works in intaglio, lithography, woodcut, linoleum cut, screenprinting and lead relief. Organized in four thematic, roughly chronological sections, the exhibition follows Johns as he revises and recycles key motifs over time. Viewers will see examples of his familiar flags and targets as well as images that explore artists’ tools, materials and techniques of mark-making; abstract works based on motifs known as flagstones and hatch marks; and later works that teem with autobiographical and personal imagery.
“An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960-2018” is organized by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
