Image: Susan Sheehan Gallery, New York
Jasper Johns’ 1977 lithograph ‘Savarin’ is on view at Susan Sheehan Gallery in New York as part of ‘Living in America: The Printed Image’, which continues through 10 September 2026.
The print measures 45 1/4 by 33 7/8 inches; its framed dimensions are 54 1/4 by 43 1/8 inches. It was printed and published by ULAE in West Islip, New York, in an edition of 50 plus proofs, and is listed as ULAE 183 in the catalogue raisonné. The impression is signed, dated and numbered in pencil, with the printer’s blindstamp in the lower margin.
‘Savarin’ was printed on handmade Twinrocker paper from 17 individual plates on a hand-fed offset proofing press. Its imagery includes crosshatching, paintbrushes in a Savarin coffee can, and a faux woodgrain element along the composition’s lower edge.
The exhibition also includes Johns’ ‘Ale Cans’ and ‘Two Flags’, alongside prints by Vija Celmins, Edward Hopper, William Henry Johnson, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol and H.C. Westermann.
