Focus: Jasper Johns" is "an exhibition of 87 paintings, drawings and prints at the Museum of Modern Art that focuses on a handful of motifs that Mr. Johns has recycled over the years, including the target, the numbers, the flag, the can of brushes and the so-called cross-hatchings."
This important Jasper Johns Exhibition is a must see for anyone interested in Art. This rich Exhibition presents important selections from the Museum of Modern Art's Permanent Collection of first-rate Jasper Johns paintings, drawings and prints.
The quality and depth of Works is superb. This well organized exhibition is a must see for anyone interested in Art; an important Exhibition for both the novice collector and the Jasper Johns aficionado.

"Focus: Jasper Johns" is organized by theme; included in this Exhibition are Museum Selections from the Artist's important series of Flags, Numbers, Savarins, Maps, Targets, The Seasons, as well as Works of Art from the Johns' recent Catenary Series. Jasper Johns has been exploring many of these important themes since the mid-fifties, and continues to explore and challenge the boundaries of Art everyday, without hype.
Joseph K. Levene Fine Art, Ltd., has impressions of several of the important Jasper Johns Prints included in the Museum of Modern Art's Collection showcased in "Focus: Jasper Johns", including several examples published by Universal Limited Art Editions. Flags (ULAE 42), 1968, is a stunning Color Lithograph the Artist created on Handmade Paper during the Op Art period and The Seasons (ULAE 238-241), 1987, a Suite of 4 Color Intaglios Johns created as mini retrospective.
Adept at all mediums, Mr. Johns is Internationally recognized as the most important living Contemporary Artist who is equally skilled whether creating Paintings, Prints or Watercolors. Even today an important canvas by Johns, if available, sells for tens of millions. However, iconic Limited Edition Jasper Johns Prints are highly desirable and affordable.
We recommend anyone serious about Art get themselves to see this first rate Exhibition. He is an Artist that has been appreciated, and will continue to be appreciated for centuries.
Anyone thinking about seeing the "Focus Jasper Johns", Exhibition should run to the Museum of Modern Art!
