Description:

Private collection. False Start is an explosive picture; it seems to be blowing itself apart in a pyrotechnic display. Brushstrokes are large; color is riotous; composition is not predetermined by a recognizable image. The stenciled labels for colors draw attention, since these are often "wrong" - the word GRAY is painted in red letters on a patch of yellow, and so on. This was a breakthrough work for Johns, giving him a new direction from the flag series. In 2006, private collectors Anne and Kenneth Griffin bought False Start (1959) for $80 million from David Geffen making it the most expensive painting by a living artist.
