Jasper Johns: Copy/Trace

Jasper Johns, a living monument of American art, continues to challenge our perceptions at the age of 96. The David Zwirner gallery highlights his meticulous exploration of the motif through the prism of reproduction and tracing. The artist, who once redefined modern painting with his iconic targets, here focuses on the persistence of the image and the gesture of repetition. This presentation underscores the surgical precision of his lines and how a simple form transforms through the mere act of copying. The display reveals the almost meditative dimension of Johns’ work, where each imprint and doubling tells a new story. A rare opportunity to grasp the depth of the dialogue between the original and its reflection, to be admired from May 7th to June 26th, 2026.
