About
Jasper Johns, Untitled (ULAE 13), 1977 is a screenprint conceived as the catalog cover for Jasper Johns/Screenprints, a 28-page exhibition catalog published by Brooke Alexander, Inc., NY and printed by Simca Print Artists, NY. Never intended as a standalone print, Jasper Johns, Untitled (ULAE 13), 1977 was published in an unsigned and unnumbered limited edition of 3,000.
Condition
Excellent, full margins; the screenprint colors particularly rich and vibrant; the newsprint collage screening especially crisp and bold. The Patapar parchment paper shows the expected subtle toning associated with nearly five decades of age. The extreme edges slightly discolored, as normal, most visibly adjacent to the catalog staples. The folded dust jacket loose as issued, and the folded portion of the dust jacket intact, not removed or cut down. The complete dust jacket precisely wraps and matches the dimensions of the Jasper Johns/Screenprints exhibition catalog. Floated in an archival Brice Marden–style black wood frame with UV plexiglass.
