Description:
|
This large work, rendered in distinct areas of red, blue and golden yellow, presents the viewer with the numerical figures 0-9, each scaled to fill the whole canvas and superimposed over one another. 0 through 9 was made by Johns in 1961 when he was living in New York. It is one of a series of twelve works by the artist, some produced in editions, that show the numbers 0 to 9 superimposed over one another. The series began with a drawing of 1960 (Museum of Modern Art, New York). In total, there are five paintings in the series the same size, including one made using a grey monochrome technique known as grisaille. Johns also made three smaller paintings on paper, a metallic relief, a pastel and a lithograph. (Source: Tate Gallery [website]; http://www.tate.org.uk)
