A THING AMONG THINGS: THE ART OF JASPER JOHNS

In an attentive and original reading of Jasper John’s work, American poet and critic John Yau focuses his attention on how the artist’s pioneering paintings relate to life as it is lived – and on what they tell us about what it means to be mortal and alive in time. Far-reaching, Yau’s reading is enhanced by statements from conversations between the author and the artist that have taken place over the course of the last 30 years and are accompanied by a substantial collection of works, many drawn from the artist’s studio or his private collection, and rarely before published.
