Dear Art Educators,

Many of you may be interested in this New York Times article about
Jasper Johns exhibit at the Met.

The Gray Areas of Jasper Johns
By CAROL VOGEL
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/03/arts/design/03voge.html?ref=design
Article includes photograph of Johns and slide show of selections in
the exhibit.

>>To hear it from curators, gray is not just a familiar color for Mr.
Johns but the essence of a long metaphysical journey, an exploration
of "the condition of gray itself." At least that's the premise of a
sprawling exhibition of his work that opens Tuesday at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

But when pressed on the show's focus, he said simply: "Yes, gray has
been important to me. But I don't tend to think of it as separate from
the rest of my work."

Exhibit - February 5, 2008–May 4, 2008
