His combine paintings and print collaborations mirror the eclectic multi medium spirit of this collective New York art world project.
Jasper Johns

Johns was deeply embedded in the same New York contemporary art community that produced this collection and frequently engaged in collaborative print and mixed media projects with fellow artists. His experimental approach to materials and his role as a connector among New York artists reflects the collaborative and diverse spirit of this work.
Leo Castelli
