"A major art world event...What makes this small show so rewarding is a sense of joining a modern master on a profound visual journey."
The Evening Standard
"Half-hidden rainbow colors, tonal subtleties and a mesmerizing diversity of line."
The New York Times on Jasper Johns: Regrets, MoMA
Don’t miss this display of major new
works by Jasper Johns, one of the
world’s greatest living artists.
Regrets is a haunting series of ten
paintings and drawings inspired by
an old photograph of Lucian Freud
posing in Francis Bacon’s London
studio.
Johns transformed the image by copying, mirroring and doubling
it. Unexpectedly, the form of a skull
emerged in his new composition, like
an apparition.
Johns and reworked the subject in a variety of media, creating
works that can be experienced as a
profound meditation on mortality, creativity and memory.
This exhibition is based upon one originally organised by The Museum of Modern Art, New York
