Redefining the Ordinary: Jasper Johns' Ale Cans (ULAE 152) on Brushed Aluminum

In the pantheon of American Pop Art and Neo-Dadaism, few images are as enduring or intellectually provocative as Jasper Johns' Ale Cans. Originally conceived as a lithograph (ULAE 152) following his groundbreaking 1960 sculpture, this work challenges the boundary between the everyday object and the fine art masterpiece. By presenting two Ballantine Ale cans as objects of intense scrutiny, Johns invites the viewer to reconsider the mundane through a lens of monumental significance.

This museum-quality reproduction from RedKalion elevates the piece by utilizing a contemporary, industrial medium that mirrors the subject's metallic origins. Our Jasper Johns Aluminum Print is crafted on 3mm (0.12") brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®, featuring a unique horizontal grain. This texture adds a dynamic, kinetic quality to the work, as the light shifts across the surface, mirroring the reflective nature of the original cans.

The Materiality of Art: Sophisticated Print Technology

Our commitment to archival excellence ensures that each print is a definitive representation of the artist's intent. Utilizing a direct-print method, the ink is bonded to the surface for a sophisticated matte, glare-free finish. In this specific Jasper Johns piece, any unprinted white areas are left to reveal the brushed silver metallic effect, providing a depth and luminosity that traditional paper prints cannot achieve.

  • Material: Premium brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND® with a 3mm thickness.
  • Visual Depth: Horizontal grain provides a sense of movement and professional-grade texture.
  • Durability: Rigid and lightweight, designed for lifelong archival stability.
  • Installation: Each piece arrives with a tailored hanging kit, ensuring a flush and secure mount.

By choosing this Jasper Johns print from RedKalion, you are not merely decorating a space; you are acquiring a piece of art history rendered through the highest standards of modern printmaking. Elevate your collection with a work that bridges the gap between mid-century innovation and contemporary luxury.

What makes the Jasper Johns Ale Cans aluminum print different from a standard poster?

Unlike paper posters, this print uses 3mm brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This museum-grade material offers a metallic silver effect in white areas and a horizontal grain, providing a tactile, high-end finish that is both glare-free and exceptionally durable.

Is the mounting hardware included with the print?

How is the artwork protected during shipping?

We employ heavy-duty, impact-resistant packaging specifically designed for fine art. Each aluminum panel is secured to prevent surface scratches or bending, ensuring your Jasper Johns reproduction arrives in pristine, gallery-ready condition.

How long will this archival print last?

Our direct-to-aluminum printing process is designed for maximum longevity. The Aluminum DIBOND® substrate is highly stable, moisture-resistant, and UV-stabilized, ensuring that the colors and metallic effects remain vivid for decades without fading.

Can this print be displayed in high-glare environments?

Absolutely. The matte finish of the AluDibond print is specifically engineered to be glare-free. This makes it an ideal choice for rooms with large windows or overhead lighting where traditional glass-framed prints would suffer from reflections.

What is the significance of the ULAE 152 designation?

ULAE refers to Universal Limited Art Editions, the prestigious print workshop where Jasper Johns created many of his most famous lithographs. The number 152 identifies this specific edition of Ale Cans, a cornerstone of 20th-century printmaking history.

Why did Jasper Johns choose to depict Ballantine Ale cans?

Johns often used "things the mind already knows" to focus on the process of seeing and making art. The Ale Cans were a response to a joke by Willem de Kooning, transforming a commercial product into an icon of high art.
