Description
Discover Jasper Johns as a passionate collector of drawings!
From Paul Cezanne to Pablo Picasso to Willem de Kooning - the collection of Jasper Johns offers surprising juxtapositions.

In this catalogue, works by nearly fifty artists enter into an inspiring exchange that will fascinate experts and art lovers alike.
Jasper Johns (b. 1930) ranks among the major American artists of the twentieth century. His accomplishments as a collector, however, have been little known until now.
