Edition of 70 - Lithograph, on J. Whatman paper, with full margins - In mint condition // Jasper Johns' Ventriloquist, created in 1990, is a lithograph featuring his characteristic use of everyday objects and symbols arranged in a grid-like composition. In this piece, various tools and objects—such as pots, a serrated blade, and cylindrical containers—are depicted in bold, gestural lines against a textured background, reminiscent of wood grain. This central composition is bordered by a pattern of stars and stripes, invoking elements of American iconography while retaining an ambiguous, layered meaning. Part of an edition of 70, this print on J. Whatman paper exemplifies Johns' interest in exploring symbols and everyday items through an abstract, almost surreal lens, encouraging viewers to contemplate the relationship between familiar forms and personal interpretation.

What is Neo-Dada?
Neo-Dada is a minor visual and audio art movement with intents similar to those of Dada artwork. While it revives some of Dada's objectives, Neo-Dada emphasizes the importance of the produced artwork rather than the concept behind it. The movement is considered the foundation of Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme, and Fluxus. Neo-Dada is known for its use of absurdist contrasts, popular imagery, and modern materials, blending high and low culture in a way that challenges traditional artistic conventions.
