Jasper Johns
1960
This work is based on Jasper Johns’ celebrated painting Three Flags (1958, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York), which takes a familiar American icon, the flag, as its subject. Johns transforms this national symbol into an object of visual perception and art-making, suggesting that any object can be re-interpreted. Here he explores the motive in grey, his favorite color, pondering if grey is a color or, as Johns claims, its absence.
