artnet: Celebrating Jasper Johns “Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that.” - Jasper Johns One of American’s greatest and most influential living artists, Jasper Johns celebrates his 83rd Birthday today. Born in Georgia, he soon moved to New York City, where he met artists Robert Rauschenberg, Merce Cunningham, and John Cage, all of whom profoundly influenced each other.  The relationships of these artists were recently explored in our landmark exhibition Dancing Around the Bride now being shown with great acclaim at the Barbican Centre, London. However, you can still catch works by Jasper Johns right here in Philadelphia. Gallery 171 has been dedicated to Johns since the 70’s and Gallery 182 includes works by both Duchamp and Johns. Honor his birthday with a trip to the Museum!

Celebrating Jasper Johns

“Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that.” - Jasper Johns

One of American’s greatest and most influential living artists, Jasper Johns celebrates his 83rd Birthday today. Born in Georgia, he soon moved to New York City, where he met artists Robert Rauschenberg, Merce Cunningham, and John Cage, all of whom profoundly influenced each other. 

The relationships of these artists were recently explored in our landmark exhibition Dancing Around the Bride now being shown with great acclaim at the Barbican Centre, London. However, you can still catch works by Jasper Johns right here in Philadelphia. Gallery 171 has been dedicated to Johns since the 70’s and Gallery 182 includes works by both Duchamp and Johns. Honor his birthday with a trip to the Museum!
