Jasper Johns
One of the greatest pop art artists in the world
Jasper Johns was probably one of the most influential current artists in pop art in the United States. With its iconic works of everyday trivial objects such as flag, maps or numerals. As portrayed in one of his main works "The Three Flags".
Biography:
The life and work of a great artist
Johns was born in Augusta in 1930, but grew up in Allendale, South Carolina, with his grandparents after his parents separated.
Between 1947 and 1948, Johns studied at the University of South Carolina, but in 1949 he moved to a university of commercial arts in New York, the Person School of Design. But in 1952, he goes to fight with the army in the Korean War, in Sendai, where he stays until 1953.
Back in New York, Jasper meets Robert Rauschenberg, his lover and companion for many years, Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage. Together they delve into contemporary art, while creating their own artistic expressions.
In 1955 he painted his most famous painting of his paintings, "the American flag" which he painted after having dreamed of the American flag. His work is often described as neo-dada, as opposed to pop art, although his subject matter often includes images and objects from popular culture.
Still, many compilations on pop art include Jasper Johns as a pop artist because of his artistic use of classical iconography.
Early works were composed using a simple scheme such as flags, maps, targets, letters and numbers. Johns' surface treatment is generally lush and pictorial, he is famous for incorporating such mediums as encaustic and plaster relief into his paintings. However, in 1958, he begins to place real objects in his works, such as brushes, combs, cans, among others in order to give more depth to the work, he also started techniques such as sculpture, carvings and lithographs.
In 1957 he exhibited his work collectively at the Jewish Museum, where he also met Leo Castelli, who the following year had his first solo exhibition, and in the same year Johns exhibited at the American pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
In 1963, Johns and Cage founded the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, now known as the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in New York City.
By the end of the 1960s, Johns began to insert flagstones, as seen in "Light of Halem", which resembles an irregularly painted wall. Later, in the 1970s, it is possible to see much of the expressionism of previous generations in his work, in works such as "Crying Women" (1975), "The Hairdresser's Tree" (1975) or "Usuyuki" (1978), where used a lot of crosswatching.
In the 80s, there is a mix of all its phases, with flags, maps, among others, accompanied by collages and crosswatchings, as we see in works such as Ventriloquo (1983), or in the set As Quatro Estações (1986), presented , and awarded, at the Venice Biennale in 1988.
In 1980, the Whitney Museum of American Art paid $1 million for Three Flags (1958), then the highest price ever paid for the work of a living artist. In 1988, Johns False Start was sold at auction at Sotheby's to Samuel I. Newhouse Jr. for $17.05 million, setting a record, at the time, as the highest price paid for a work by a living artist at auction, and the second highest price paid for a work of art at auction in the US.
In 2006, private collectors Anne and Kenneth Griffin (founder of the Citadel LLC hedge fund) purchased David Geffen's False Start (1959) for $80 million, making it the most expensive painting by a living artist.
He currently lives in Sharon, Connecticut.
