The Art Institute of Chicago is presenting an exhibition of noted artist Jasper Johns from November 3, 2007 thru January 6, 2008. The event focuses on his use of the color “gray”.
“This exhibition emerges from broader studies of Johns’ approach to form, examining for the first time the artist’s use of gray in his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings from 1955 to the present. Featuring more than 130 works and including major new works that have never been exhibited publicly, the exhibition tracks Johns’ application of gray for more than five decades-an investigation that provides a framework for understanding the development of the artist’s entire oeuvre.”
