Jasper Johns: Gray is the first exhibition to examine the groundbreaking American artist's use of this color from his earliest works to the present day. More than 120 paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings take the viewer through a multitude of shades employed across an ever-evolving body of work. From encaustics, to cross-hatching pictures, to Johns' most recently released lithograph, never before has "one" color appeared so simultaneously mysterious and expository.
The exhibition was organized by the Art Institute of Chicago (viewing dates: November 3, 2007–January 6, 2008), in cooperation with the Metropolitan Museum of Art (February 5-May 4, 2008).
