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.

Over 200 counterfeit sold since 2022.
From 2022 -2025, over 200 counterfeit Jasper Johns screenprints have been sold at numerous online venues, including Forum Auctions, LA Modern, Bonhams, Toomey & Company, Cardena Auctions, Composition Gallery, Chamberlain’s Auction Galleries, Palm Beach Auctions, Rago, Ro Gallery, US Auction Online, Wright, and many others. Listings typically featurie a single photo, minimal details, inaccurate dimensions, and none include the 28-page Jasper Johns/Screenprints catalog. Buyers should assume that any impression without the original Jasper Johns/Screenprints catalog is counterfeit. 

Counterfeits include erroneous titles — NOT documented in Jasper Johns Catalogue Raisonné
Counterfeit Jasper Johns screenprints have been repeatedly sold with erroneous titles: “Cross Hatch, 1977” and/or “Cross Hatch, circa 1977”, titles never used by Jasper Johns and not documented in Richard Field’s Jasper Johns: Catalog Raisonné of Prints. Fraudulent sellers include Chamberlain’s Auction Galleries, Composition Gallery, Dane Fine Art, LA Modern, Palm Beach Auctions, Rago, Ro Gallery, Toomey & Company, Wright Gallery, US Auction Brokers, US Auction Online. These sellers have brazenly re-titled the screenprint with erroneous details; misidentifying the medium as “Transpagra paper” instead of Patapar parchment and detailing implausible sheet dimensions of 10 x 10 inches or 9.5 x 9.5 inches.. Listing from Chamberlain's Auction Galleries, Dane Fine Art, US Auction Brokers and US Auction Online include a false Certificate of Authenticity (COA) issued by “The Great Dane Collection".

Counterfeit Jasper Johns 1977 screenprints are printed on bright white stock, often misrepresented by fraudulent sellers as serigraph on Transpagra paper instead of Patapar parchment.  Fraudulent sellers never show the unfolded dust jacket, which measures 9 13/16 x 20 1/4 inches. They also fail to indicate whether the sheet has been trimmed.
