Jasper Johns at Leslie Sacks Contemporary Gallery

Several works by Jasper Johns are on exhibit at Leslie Sacks Contemporary Gallery.  These include a couple of his small etchings of the American Flag done in the 1967 to 1969 period.

From the gallery's bigography of the artist:  Johns’ flag paintings are credited as key in the development of Minimal Art in that the focus of these pieces is on linearity and uniformity, thus de-emphasizing the unique creative talents of the artist. For Johns, major influences in the Minimalist style were his friendships with dancer Merce Cunningham, composer John Cage and fellow artist Robert Rauschenberg.

Leslie Sacks Contemporary is located at Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Avenue B6, Santa Monica California 90404.
