Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror at the Whitney
Collection of the artist. © 2021 Jasper Johns/VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.

Jasper Johns, Flashlight, 1960 (cast c. 1979). Bronze and glass. 4 3/4 × 7 3/4 × 4 1/4 in. (12.1 × 19.7 × 10.8 cm). Ed. no. 2/3.

At ninety-one, Jasper Johns has been around for so long that it’s easy to forget that he is—well, still around. Halfway through the sixth decade of his career, Johns’s output has been prodigious enough to demand a retrospective hosted by not one, but two institutions: The Whitney and The Philadelphia Museum of Art
