About

Jasper John’s Target Technics and Creativity, MoMa 1971: Offset lithograph in colors with brush and three watercolor pads on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper in white plastic clam-shell case & 108 page MoMa exhibition catalog. Features Jasper Johns plate signature. Sheet: 10 3/8 × 8 3/8 in. (26.4 × 21.3 cm) Case: 1 1/2 × 10 5/8 × 8 5/8 in. (3.8 × 27 × 21.9 cm). Paintbrush is detached; minor wear to plastic case; in otherwise very good overall condition. Publisher: Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, in conjunction with the MoMA, New York. Printed signature from an edition of unknown. Complete edition including all elements. Further Background: "This work, published in connection with the exhibition catalogue Technics and Creativity, presents the outlines of five concentric circles accompanied by three dried watercolor cakes in the primary colors and a small red paintbrush. Johns wryly makes reference to the ubiquity and banality of targets, as well as to the seeming simplicity of his own celebrated creations. Below the work's stamped title and date is the artist’s signature followed by the word "AND" with a blank line, anticipating the addition of another name, that of Johns’s eventual collaborator. Target thus generates a paradox: the work can only be "completed" by someone else, but to do so would perhaps also destroy the integrity of the artwork. Therefore the work must remain in a perpetually unfinished state. "The target has been a central motif in Johns’s work since 1955. He has depicted this deceptively simple image in a range of different media, translating between contexts and materials. Johns’s approach prioritizes process and experimentation over definitive conclusions. As the artist famously wrote in a notebook in 1963–64: 'Take an object / Do something to it / Do something else to it.'" (source: The Met) Related Categories Frank Stella. Robert Rauschenberg.
