Smith of Universal Limited Art Editions, Inc., West Islip, NY Publisher: Universal Limited Art Editions, Inc., West Islip, NY Sheet size: 22.88" x 17.5" Image size: 16.75" x 13.63" Condition: In excellent condition Rare Notes: Provenance: private collection - Barstow, CA. Comes from the "Facsimile Catalogue of Jasper Johns Prints" series which was printed in 1975 and published in 1986. Telemon Editions Limited seal within the image lower right. Information printed on verso as issued. The image reproduced on this print is Johns' 1962 lithograph edition "Painting with Two Balls I", (ULAE No. 8; Field No. 8; Sparks No. 8, page 348). This facsimile print was made at and by Universal Limited Art Editions in West Islip, NY under the supervision of the artist Jasper Johns himself. Tatyana Grosman started Telamon Editions Limited in 1970 as a commercial venture of Universal Limited Art Editions. It was closed upon her death in 1982. Among her initial projects was a facsimile catalogue of Jasper Johns prints published by ULAE. The format for the catalogue was 22.5 x 17.5 inches and was to be printed in an edition of 300 on the same paper as the original limited editions prints. A hand-fed offset press was purchased in 1971 to proof and print the project. 13 facsimiles were printed on the hand-fed offset press by Bill Goldston and James V. Smith under the supervision of the artist before 1982 when it was abandoned for the complete catalogue raisonne published in 1993. Other than their size, the paper, color and printing sequence match the original edition. The facsimiles are not signed by the artist and the Telamon Editions Limited seal appears within the images to ensure no confusion with the original editions. Biography: Jasper Johns (born May 15, 1930) is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker associated with Abstract expressionism, Neo-Dada, and Pop art. Johns is well known for his depictions of the American flag and other US-related topics. Johns' works regularly receive millions of dollars at sale and auction, including a reported $110 million sale in 2010. At multiple times works by Johns have held the title of most paid for a work by a living artist. Johns has received many honors throughout his career, including receipt of the National Medal of Arts in 1990, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011.

It could have a geometry that had a narrative impact. In other words, you could tell a story with the shapes,” he explained. “It wouldn't be a literal story, but the shapes and the interaction of the shapes and colors would give you a narrative sense. You could have a sense of an abstract piece flowing along and being part of an action or activity.” Born on May 12, 1936 in Malden, MA, Stella went on to study history at Princeton University before moving to New York in 1958.
