The Whitney Museum of American Art has launched a significant retrospective dedicated to Jasper Johns, providing a thorough exploration of the artist’s extensive body of work. This exhibition spans more than sixty years and includes paintings, sculptures, and drawings that have been pivotal to Johns’s artistic journey.
Entitled ‘Mind/Mirror’, the exhibition is a joint effort with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, offering a dual-venue experience that delves into themes such as reflection and perception. Attendees will encounter renowned pieces like ‘Flag’ (1954-55) and ‘Target with Four Faces’ (1955), as well as lesser-known works that underscore Johns’s experimental approach to materials and techniques.
Curators emphasize this retrospective’s crucial role in appreciating Johns’s impact on contemporary art and his significant contributions to redefining American art during the 20th century. Accompanying the exhibition is a series of talks and events designed to explore Johns’s creative process and enduring legacy.
