Jasper Johns: Pop Art Before Pop Art

In this HENI Talk, the internationally recognised art critic and curator Robert Storr explores the work of American painter Jasper Johns (b. 1930). Recognised for his encaustic paintings of flags, targets and maps, Johns’s ‘Neo-Dada’ works helped to formalise a shift in post-war American art from Abstract Expressionism towards Pop art.

Storr provides a unique and incisive account of Johns’s practice, informed by his longstanding professional relationship with the artist that began in the late 1960s when they first met in New York.
