A magnificent retrospective of this great artist's life work, Dec 16 1997
By rmay@pictureworks.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Johns Retrospe (Hardcover)
Did you miss the Johns retrospective at NY MOMA? This book captures the essence of an American Michaelangelo. Subjective? You bet! If you have even the slightest interest in modern art your library is not complete without this retrospective. The many color and b&w photographs are superb, and it is accompanied by a solid chronology of Mr. Johns's life. Emphasis is on original works, but includes a good selection of more important lithographs (I recommend the prints Catalog Raisonne by ULAE if you want a complete reference work in this area). A tour de force by Varnedoe and his editing team!

By H. Paul - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jasper Johns: A Retrospective (Hardcover)
here is a fabulous book on the american painter Jasper Johns.As usual, the museum of modern art offers us a big book (more than 400 pages), with beautiful pictures of his work and a great look at his artistic evolution.
So, if there's a book about Jasper Johns to buy, this is the good one!
very complete and great page setting.
Listmania!
