Jasper Johns was born in 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, and raised in South Carolina. He began drawing as a young child, and from the age of five knew he wanted to be an artist. For three semesters he attended the University of South Carolina at Columbia, where his art teachers urged him to move to New York, which he did in late 1948.
Jasper Johns is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker whose work is associated with abstract expressionism, Neo-Dada, and pop art. He is well known for his depictions of the American flag and other US-related topics. Johns's works regularly sell for millions of dollars at sale and auction, including a reported $110 million sale in 2010.
Since the mid-1950s, Johns has focused on everyday icons and emblems, or what the artist famously referred to as “things the mind already knows.” A key motif is the alphabet: Johns has repeatedly used letters, either depicted individually or layered atop one another, to address modes of perception and knowledge.
