VTV Classics (r3): Jasper Johns: An Allegory of Painting (2007)

http://www.vernissage.tv | The 2007 exhibition "Jasper Johns: An Allegory of Painting, 1955 - 1965" at Kunstmuseum Basel presented the groundbreaking early work of Japser Johns, beginning in the mid-1950s with such famous works as "Target with Four Faces". The show brought together around seventy key works on loan from museums and private collections in the US and Europe. It traced the relationship of four specific motifs: the target, the mechanical "device", the naming colors, and the imprint of the body. The shots in this video are from the press preview and the vernissage of the exhibition on June 1st, 2007.
