About This Item
New York: Harry N. Abrams. Inc., Publishers, 1967. First edition of this early monograph on the work of Jasper Johns. Large oblong quarto, original cloth, text with 142 plates, half tipped-in color. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jasper Johns has often been called an "artist's artist." A painter, printer and sculptor, Johns is perhaps best known for his painting Flag. His use of classical iconography with sculptural techniques, such as plaster or encaustic in his paintings defined his work. One of America's foremost living artists.
