"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  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 in the Museum of Modern Art's Collection showcased in "Focus: Jasper Johns", including 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, Jasper 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 Jasper Johns, if available, sells for tens of millions. However, iconic Limited Edition Jasper Johns Prints are still 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 Focus Jasper Johns should run to the Museum of Modern Art!
