The Jasper Johns 0-9 Set of Ten Numeral etchings is exceptionally fresh and bright and in overall excellent condition. Each of the Ten Jasper Johns Numeral etchings, from '0' through '9', is printed on an individual sheet of Barcham Green Paper to stand alone.

The full impact of the "0" through "9" progression of Numerals is best when the Set of Ten Numerals Etchings is displayed either in two rows of five figures - "0 through 4" and "5 through 9", or a single row of ten etchings, beginning with '0" and ending with '9'.

Jasper Johns 0-9 Numerals Set is an iconic example of the Artist's transformation of a mundane subject into something visually complex and engaging, a theme central to Jasper Johns creative process.
