Jasper Johns

Zone—Black State
1972

Abstract black and white artwork featuring a mix of scribbles, geometric shapes, and textured patterns, with a distinct separation between the upper and lower halves. The upper section displays chaotic lines, while the lower half shows more wash-like textures and a few white splatters. A candlestick-like figure appears to hang from the top into the lower section. The piece is signed and has some text on the bottom left corner.
