Focus: Jasper Johns

December 5, 2008-February 16, 2009 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York

From Shelley Esaak, About.com


Focus: Jasper Johns was organized in part to celebrate MoMA's acquisition of the artist's 2001 print series Untitled. Two happy corollaries are the opportunities to showcase that (1) Johns works in many mediums--including within the discipline of printmaking--and (2) the Museum has a spectacular collection of Johns' works. To accompany the Untitled series, Deborah Wye, The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Chief Curator for Prints and Illustrated Books, selected prints, drawings and paintings around recurring visual themes that Johns employs. Here is a sampling of the exhibition for your viewing enjoyment.
