James Kalm is honored and excited to bring viewers along for this strolling homage to one of America’s most recognized and cherished artists, Jasper Johns. This show features iconic works from all the artist’s periods, and is a “mirror image” of its twin at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Since his very first show with Leo Castelli in 1957, Johns (who is now in his early 90s) has been the harbinger of a profound shift, not only in American, but worldwide visual culture. Beginning with his classic maps, targets, alphabets and numbers, observers will witness the ingenious innovations, conceptual leaps and cultural prognostications that have kept Johns at the very crest of the American art world. A guest explication of a “Cantenary” painting is provided by Jerry Saltz. This program was recorded Sept. 23, 2021. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
