Jasper Johns

Untitled
1986

An abstract painting featuring a complex array of interlocking shapes and lines in shades of black, white, and brown. The composition is reminiscent of a fragmented, non-representational subject, possibly evoking mechanical or organic forms. The artwork is signed and dated at the bottom right corner, and it is presented on a vertical sheet of paper with registration marks at the corners.
