About Josef Albers:
Josef Albers is best known for his seminal “Homage to the Square” series of the 1950s and '60s, which focused on the simplification of form and the interplay of shape and color. His abstract canvases employed rigid geometric compositions in order to emphasize the optical effects set off by his chosen color palettes. Albers was highly influential as a teacher, first at the Bauhaus in Germany alongside Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, and later with posts at Black Mountain College, Yale, and Harvard; he taught courses in design and color theory, and counted among his students such iconic artists as Eva Hesse, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Robert Rauschenberg & Cy Twombly. Albers is often cited among the forefathers of Minimalist, Conceptual, and Op art.

Jasper Johns
Letter ("one either jumps into the water or doesn't"), 1996
Hand signed letter framed on top of a Time Magazine cover depicting a work by the artist
Hand signed by Jasper Johns underneath a typewritten letter by his secretary (JJ/st)
Frame Included
This listing consists of a typewritten letter, hand signed by Jasper Johns in response to one sent by the present addressee. While we do not see the fan's letter that prompted this response from Johns, it's not too difficult to guess, as Jasper Johns replies, stating, in part, "I wish I felt I could advise you but I can't. One either jumps in the water or doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any in-between." No truer words could have been spoken regarding the artist's life.
Underneath this letter, is a vintage Time Magazine cover, presumably from the same year, depicting a Jasper Johns Flag...
