First edition. Signed by the author and the artist. Limited edition. "This cerebral volume that provokes more questions than it answers is considered one of the greatest artists' books of the second half of the twentieth century" (Johnson and Stein: Artists' Books in the Modern Era 1870-2000). Complete. Five texts by Samuel Beckett in both French and English. Illustrated with 33 etchings by Johns (including 26 lift-ground aquatints, five etchings with mixed media, one soft-ground etching, and one aquatint), together with two colour lithographs used as endpapers. Tissue guards present. The plates were drawn by Johns and proofed and printed by hand at the Atelier Crommelynck in Paris between 1975 and 1976. The paper, watermarked with Beckett's initials and Johns' signature, was handmade by Richard de Bas in the Auvergne. The type, set in Caslon Old Face 16-point, was hand-printed by Fequet and Baudier in Paris. Housed in the original grey linen portfolio case with purple silk tassel, the interior lined with a colour lithograph. A fine copy. The binding square, clean and bright. The contents, with some offsetting from a couple of the darker plates to the opposite page (as in all copies seen), are bright and fresh throughout. Issued in a limited edition of 250 copies, this example is numbered 105 and signed by Samuel Beckett and Jasper Johns on the limitation page. The five prose texts that comprise Foirades were written by Samuel Beckett in French in 1972 and translated into English by the author in 1974 specifically for this collaborative publication. In response, Jasper Johns produced a suite of 33 etchings derived from his four-panel painting Untitled (1972), now held in the collection of Museum Ludwig in Cologne. As the critic Christian Geelhaar noted, Johns had already developed "a set of images unsurpassed in their intuitive realisation of Beckett's texts", despite not yet having read them. The four panels introduced imagery new to Johns' practice. The left panel features a field of stripes or cross-hatching, recalling markings he once observed on a car passing along the Long Island Expressway. The two central panels derive from a wall he had seen on a building in Harlem, painted with rock-like forms in red, white and black. The final panel incorporates wax casts of fragmented body parts affixed to wooden boards. These motifs are developed across the prints through combinations of etching, aquatint and drypoint, rendered predominantly in black and grey. Johns' characteristic stencilled numerals precede each of Beckett's texts, while the endpapers, depicting cross-hatching and rock or flagstone imagery, are printed in colour. The project also marked a technical shift in the artist's printmaking practice. Having previously worked largely in lithography, he was encouraged by Paul Cornwall-Jones, founder of Petersburg Press, to experiment with etching. Cornwall-Jones introduced Johns to the master printer Aldo Crommelynck, who had collaborated almost exclusively with Pablo Picasso during the previous decade. Following Picasso's death in 1973, Crommelynck's Paris studio became a centre for artists associated with Petersburg Press, including Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin and Jim Dine. Johns first visited the studio in 1974, and their collaboration over the next two years resulted in the extraordinary etchings encountered here.

First edition of this comprehensive, insightful, and visually rich monograph on the influential American artist by famous author and art enthusiast Michael Crichton. Quarto, original pictorial wrappers, profusely illustrated throughout. Signed and dated by Jasper Johns on the front free endpaper, "Jasper Johns 19 Oct. '78." In fine condition. A Jasper Johns pamphlet dated 20 October - 10 December 1978 and titled "Checklist of the Jasper Johns Exhibition At the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art" laid in. Jasper Johns by Michael Crichton is a substantial, visually rich monograph that offers both an art-historical survey and a reflective critical interpretation of one of the most influential American artists of the postwar period. Drawing on interviews and Crichtonâs long familiarity with Johnsâs work as a collector and interlocutor, the book examines key motifs such as flags, targets, and everyday objects, emphasizing Johnsâs use of symbols, puns, optical ambiguity, and embedded imagery to unsettle distinctions between representation and reality. Often described as unfolding in three movementsâ"an introduction to the artist, a historical account of his major developments, and a more philosophical inquiry into the role of the observerâ"the study foregrounds how Johnsâs art stages perception itself as a subject. In doing so, Crichton presents the volume as more than a biography, offering an interpretive framework for understanding Johnsâs practice as an ongoing investigation into how meaning is constructed between artwork, artist, and viewer.

Jasper Johns penned Two Autograph Letters referring to his art. He mentions his painting "Construction with a Toy Piano" and a painting of fellow artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008). Autograph Letter Signed, two separate 4to pages, Sept. 29,1989. The second is an Autograph Letter Unsigned, in pencil, a two page 4to fragment, undated referring to art work hanging on Johns' studio walls. Both letters are written to Fred Mitchell (1923-2013), one of the five cofounders of the artist run Tanager Gallery in New York City. Mitchell was himself a New York School Abstract Expressionist artist. The third letter in the group was written by Fred Mitchell to Johns, August 21, 1992, referring to John Cage's composition, "Europera," soon after Cage died in August 1992. After offering news of family and friends, Johns writes in the September 29 letter, "If you can ever track down that photo of my 'Construction with a Toy Piano' and Bob Rauschenberg 'Paint Cans' painting on the walls of the Tanager Gallery I'll be grateful (the photo) was in the that Tanager 'Memorial exhibition that you sent me to in Soho some years ago." He ends with his upcoming travel schedule and signs, "Jasper." In the two page unsigned incomplete letter to Fred, Johns asks for "2 favors." "On the wall of my studio where I used to have those pictures is a small sculpture of a toothbrush with teeth. There is also hanging near that a cellophane bag with 2 or 3 pieces of blue dental wax in it. Will you send me those." The incomplete letter ends with Johns asking for airmail to be forwarded. Johns presumably refers to his small sculpture of a tooth brush with several teeth attached titled, "The Critic Smiles, " 1969. Docketed "1965?" in the upper right corner. The set of letters contains notable references to the artist he has been closely associated with, Robert Rauschenberg and "Pop Art." The letters also importantly refer to the Tanager Gallery,located at 90 E. 10 Street in New York City, where both Johns and Rauschenberg exhibited. The Gallery was open from 1952-1962.
