Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Jasper Johns Drawings 1997-2007, the next exhibition in his gallery at 522 West 22nd Street. This will be Jasper Johns� second one-person show at Matthew Marks Gallery. A wide variety of subject matter and media can be seen in Johns� drawings made over the past ten years. The works are filled with autobiographical references and allusions to earlier art-historical precursors. They often combine his now-famous motifs from early in his career � flags, maps, numerals, cross-hatching � with new ones � a Harlequin�s costume, a piece of string, or flagstones. Thomas Crow, in the catalogue that accompanies the exhibition, writes that Johns treats these motifs �like interchangeable members of an alphabet or lexicon.� Johns makes his drawings in ink, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic paint, pastel, and/or graphite pencil, among other media, on many different kinds of paper, as well as sheets of plastic. A hard-cover publication will be available, including an essay by the art-historian Thomas Crow and over 50 color illustrations. |
