Jasper Johns: ‘Something Resembling Truth’
A tour of Jasper Johns: ‘Something Resembling Truth’ designed for wheelchair users and mobility impaired visitors.
Jasper Johns is regarded as one of the most important artists of the 20th century, and has remained central to the American contemporary art scene since his arrival in New York in the 1950s. Widely known for his iconic images of flags, targets, numbers and maps, Johns broke away from the dominant art of the time, abstract expressionism, to create a new aesthetic.
Comprising over 150 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, this exhibition brings together a rare combination of rarely seen and new works by Johns. Join us for an early-morning tour and experience the first comprehensive survey of the artist’s work to be held in the UK in 40 years.
This event includes refreshments and volunteer support is provided.
