Jasper Johns

Untitled (Cover design for Whitney Museum Jasper Johns exhibition catalogue)
1977

A colorful abstract artwork featuring a dense cluster of vertical and diagonal lines in various colors, resembling a bouquet of flowers emerging from a coffee can labeled "Savoy." To the right, the lines become more scattered and form a pattern that suggests movement or dispersion. Splatters of paint in multiple colors add texture to the composition.
