Target, Jasper Johns

Remote media for #

Concentric cobalt-blue and canary-yellow rings forming a target alternate against a cherry-red background in this vertical screenprint. The innermost circle is blue and is followed by two yellow and two more blue rings. The top fifth of the print is divided into rectangles: hunter green on our left, tangerine orange in the middle, and purple on our right. There are drips throughout the composition, which is surrounded by a wide white margin. A pencil inscription under the left corner of the printed image reads, “25/70.” The artist signed and dated the lower right corner, "J J '74." — Jasper Johns, Hiroshi Kawanishi, Makoto Kawano, Kenjiro Nonaka, Takeshi Shimada, Simca Print Artists, Target, 1974, color screenprint on J.B. Green Paper, Reba and Dave Williams Collection, Gift of Reba and Dave Williams, 2008.115.5208
