Signed by the artist in pencil, and numbered - Original lithograph on BFK rives paper (F. 143) // Bent Blue by Jasper Johns is a limited edition lithograph created in 1971. This minimalist work features abstract, three-dimensional letterforms arranged vertically along a central dividing line, as if bending and twisting around an invisible axis. Johns’ use of clean, precise lines on a stark white background emphasizes the graphic nature of the forms, creating a sense of balance and tension. The letters seem suspended in space, exploring themes of form, abstraction, and the intersection between language and art. Printed on BFK Rives paper, this piece is signed and numbered by Johns, highlighting his meticulous approach to both concept and execution.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
