Description
Artist: Jasper Johns Title: Summer (Blue) Medium: Lithograph in Colors Year: 1985-1991 Image Size: 9.5" x 6.25" Sheet Size: 16.25" x 11.125" Edition: 213/225 Publisher: Brooke Alexander, Inc., New York. Printer: Universal Limited Art Editions, West Islip, NY Inscription: Signed, dated, and numbered on front lower margin Documentation: Gallery Certificate of Authenticity "Summer (Blue)" is a significant lithograph by Jasper Johns, created between 1985 and 1991. This work exemplifies Johns' innovative approach to printmaking, utilizing two plates to produce a composition that combines abstract and figurative elements. The lithograph is characterized by its vivid blue hues and intricate patterns, reflecting the artist's exploration of color and form. The work is part of an edition of 225, with each impression signed, dated, and numbered by the artist. It was printed by Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) and published by Brooke Alexander, Inc., both renowned for their collaborations with prominent artists. "Summer (Blue)" has been included in several prestigious exhibitions, underscoring its importance in the art historical canon. Notably, it was featured in the exhibition "Jasper Johns: The Seasons, Prints and Related Works," held at Brooke Alexander Editions in New York from November 9, 1991, to January 4, 1992. This exhibition highlighted a series of works by Johns that delve into the themes of time and nature through his distinctive artistic lens. The lithograph is held in several esteemed collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. These institutions are recognized for their commitment to preserving and showcasing significant works of American art, and their acquisition of "Summer (Blue)" reflects the lithograph's importance in Johns' body of work. A distinguished example of Jasper Johns' printmaking, "Summer (Blue)" embodies his innovative approach to art and his exploration of complex themes through the medium of lithography. Its inclusion in major exhibitions and holdings in prominent museums attest to its enduring relevance and impact in the field of contemporary art. "Summer (Blue)" is signed, dated, and numbered on front lower margin and includes a certificate of authenticity from Modern Artifact.
Presentation
Jasper Johns, Jr. was born on 15th May, 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, United States. He is an American painter and drawer. He was with Robert Rauschenberg at the root of American Pop Art. He painted complete series representing flags, figures or targets on canvas.
Consequently, his subjects were basically daily life, utensils, cutlery or tin cans, treated as spare parts that he included in his work. False Start which was sold for 80 million dollars, is the most expensive painting of any living artist.
