The complete Set of Ten 0-9 Numbers, each signed, dated and numbered etchings, 1975, on Barcham Green Paper, published by Petersburg Press, New York, each with the "Jasper Johns Watermark Signature", each with full margins. Each 8 3/8 x 6 inches each.
The Jasper Johns 0-9 Set of Ten Number etchings is exceptionally fresh and bright and in overall excellent condition. Each of the Ten Jasper Johns Number etchings, from '0' through '9', is printed on an individual sheet of Barcham Green Paper to stand alone.
However, the full impact of the "0" through "9" progression of Numbers is best when the Set of Ten Number 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 Numbers Set is an iconic example of the Artist's transformation of a rather mundane subject into something visually complex and engaging, a theme central to Jasper Johns creative process.
