JASPER JOHNS
Untitled (Sun on Six).

Color linoleum cut on Gampi Torinoko paper, 2000. 243x160 mm; 9 3/4x6 1/4 inches (sheet), full margins. The deluxe edition of 26 on Japan paper, aside from the regular book edition of 200. Signed, dated and numbered 4/26 in pencil, lower margin. Published by Z Press, Calais, Vermont. From Sun on Six by Jeff Clark. A very good impression of this scarce print.

Untitled (Sun on Six) is Johns' (b. 1930) first linocut, which appeared alongside a poem by American poet and book designer Jeff Clark (b. 1971) in the same-titled book.
