Art Jasper Johns: Gray

In Jasper Johns' Gray, the Met culls a rigorous collection of work from the mid-'50s to the present. Johns, a pop artist for his use of symbols and icons, also cleared the canvas for minimalism in white, black, and gray. His position between movements, however, runs deeper. As a conceptualist, he painted over scraps of newspapers and magazines (creating subtext, literally) to raise an impasto of non-delineated composition that sat well with his abstract-expressionist contemporaries. He moved to New York from Augusta, Georgia, as a queer man at the crest of the city's chapter in art history. This exhibition provides background for a concurrent show of more recent works at the Matthew Marks Gallery.
