Craig Starr Gallery presents Jasper Johns: Flags, organized with the artist to bring together paintings, drawings, and sculptures spanning unconventional treatments of his defining motif—double and triple flags, monochromes, complementary colors, and more. Born from a literal dream, Johns's flag works use a pre-existing symbol to focus attention on process, material, and perception rather than invention. By multiplying, recoloring, and destabilizing the image, Johns transforms a familiar emblem into a site where meaning, anxiety, and cultural projection remain productively unresolved.
