Exhibition Information
Jasper Johns: Eyes in the Persistence of Form
September 11 – December 18
“My work is largely concerned with relations between seeing and knowing, seeing and saying, seeing and believing.” —Jasper Johns, 1965
Concurrent with Jasper Johns’ dual retrospective "Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror" at the Whitney Museum of Art, New York and the Philadelphia Museum Art (September 29, 2021 – February 13, 2022), this exhibition focuses on the semiotic storm of ocular freedom pervading the artist’s prints, spanning the late 1980s to the early 2000s. Conceived between the East coast and the hurricane-prone island of St. Martin, these works evoke seeing and seasonality, deploying the corporeal and metaphorical figure of the eye, both human and of the storm.
