Jasper Johns
Fizzles (Foirades)
New York City, USA: Petersburg Press, 1976
34 x 26.7 x 5.7 cm
Edition of 250 [+30 AP] signed and numbered copies
An artist's book consisting of thirty-three etchings and aquatints (one in colour), on Richard de Bas paper, housed in a grey linen portfolio case, with a purple silk tassel, lined with a coloured lithograph. The work is signed by both Johns and author Samuel Beckett.
“Two of the most enigmatic artists of our time, Samuel Beckett and Jasper Johns, collaborated on this complex yet elegant artist’s book. Originally written in French..., the brooding essays were rewritten in English by Beckett for this project. Nevertheless, Johns decided to include both texts that expanded his own involvement to thirty-three etchings and aquatints plus color lithograph endpapers. Johns’s imagery is based on a major four-panel painting, Untitled (1972), along with his classic imagery related to numbers and body parts. This cerebral volume that provokes more questions than it answers is considered one of the greatest artists’ books of the second half of the twentieth century”
