Description:
|
Lithograph, printed and published by Universal Limited Art Editions, New York. 'Decoy' represents the first use by an artist of the hand-fed offset lithography press (originally bought by ULAE for proofing only). Johns took advantage of the press which enabled a faster pace of alternate trials, alterations and color sequence changes, and also a larger number of subtle over-printings on one print. 'Decoy' contains reworkings of a number of images, among them: a Ballantine ale can from 'Painted Bronze' 1960; the letters of the names of colors and the leg cast from 'Passage II' 1966 (oil on canvas). Edition of 55. (Source: Tate Gallery [website]; http://www.tate.org.uk)
