This volume examines the use of the color gray by the American artist Jasper Johns (b. 1930) between the mid-1950s and the present, bringing together more than 120 paintings, reliefs, drawings, prints, and sculptures from American and international collections. Johns has worked in gray at times to evoke a mood, at other times to evoke an intellectual rigor that results from his purging most color from his works. For Johns, the gray alone has offered a potential to be almost inexhaustible by itself, and his neutral paintings exploit a certain chromatic undertone, with touches of color resonating through the grays. This volume is the first to focus on this important thematic and formal thread in Johns's career and includes some of the artist's best-known works, such as Canvas, Gray Target, Jubilee, 0 through 9, No, Diver, and The Dutch Wives, as well as works from the artist's Catenary series and new paintings never before exhibited.

320 pages, 268 full-color illustrations. 9 3/4 in. x 12 3/4 in. Available in hardcover (clothbound) or paper.
