The essential five-volume resource on the painting and sculpture of
one of the world's foremost contemporary artists For more than 60
years, Jasper Johns (b. 1930) has remained a singular figure in
contemporary art. His most widely influential work-depictions of
everyday objects and signs such as flags, targets, flashlights, and
lightbulbs-helped change the face of the art world in the 1950s by
introducing subject matter that stood in contrast to the prevailing
style of Abstract Expressionism. In subsequent decades, Johns's art
has increasingly engaged issues of memory and mortality, often
incorporating references to admired artistic predecessors. This
definitive 5-volume catalogue raisonne documents the entire body of
painting and sculpture made by Johns from 1954 through 2014,
encompassing 355 paintings and 86 sculptures. Each work is
illustrated with a full-page reproduction, nearly all of which were
commissioned expressly for this publication. A decade of research
underpins the project, with thorough documentation of each object
and an overarching monograph that represents the most comprehensive
study of the artist's work to date. All facets of the catalogue
reflect the input of the artist, who worked closely with the author
at all stages.
