Untitled (LR#3) [trial proof]

1999

Jasper Johns

Associated Names

Jasper Johns

Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays interconnected black lines and shapes forming an intricate and abstract composition. The lines create layered objects that resemble pieces of armor or tools. The shapes overlap and intersect like puzzle pieces, adding to the abstract quality. The design may evoke a knight's armor or medieval equipment, with hints of shields and weaponry in the pattern.
