About the work
Johns created the gray portion of this print in 1963, originally intending it for a collaboration with Frank O’Hara. Later, he added a photographic detail from a 1965 painting entitled Eddingsville. While other artists, notably Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol had already used photographic imagery in their prints, Johns was the first artist Mrs. Grosman allowed to use a photomechanically-made plate. Thus he entered a new phase of possibilities in image-making. Thereafter, he could simultaneously compare a drawn illusion with a reproduction of an image.
