Elevate Your Correspondence with Jasper Johns' Masterpiece
Experience the intersection of high art and everyday life with our premium pack of 10 postcards featuring Jasper Johns' "Ale Cans 1" (1964). As a cornerstone of the Neo-Dada and Pop Art movements, Johns challenged the traditional boundaries of fine art by elevating mundane, mass-produced objects—like the Ballantine Ale cans seen here—into the realm of the extraordinary. This specific 1964 lithograph edition is celebrated for its intricate textures and sophisticated tonal range, capturing the subtle interplay of light and shadow on industrial surfaces.

What makes these Jasper Johns postcards museum-quality?
RedKalion uses 12-color fine art printing on 200 gsm FSC-certified paper. This process captures the intricate textures and tonal nuances of Johns' 1964 lithograph with far greater accuracy than standard inkjet printing, ensuring a professional, archival finish.
What are the exact dimensions and specifications of the paper?
Each card measures A6 size (10.5 x 14.8 cm / 4.1 x 5.8 inches). We use 200 gsm (80 lb) paper with a thickness of 0.26 mm, featuring a smooth matte finish for a glare-free, sophisticated display.
What is 12-color fine art printing technology?
Unlike standard 4-color (CMYK) printing, our 12-color technology uses a wider gamut of pigments. This results in smoother gradients, deeper blacks, and more accurate color reproduction, essential for capturing the subtle details of Jasper Johns' work.
How are the postcards shipped and how long does it take?
Our postcards are printed on demand to ensure quality control and reduce waste. They are carefully packaged to prevent bending. Shipping times vary by location, but most orders are processed within 2-4 business days.
Are these postcards suitable for archival framing?
Yes. The 200 gsm acid-free paper and high-quality pigments are designed for longevity. The smooth matte finish and museum-grade weight make them ideal for small-scale framing and long-term display.
What is the historical significance of "Ale Cans" in Pop Art?
Jasper Johns' "Ale Cans" represents a pivotal moment in Neo-Dadaism. By recreating a commercial object through the painstaking process of lithography and bronze casting, Johns forced viewers to reconsider the relationship between mass-produced goods and unique art objects.
Why did Jasper Johns choose Ballantine Ale cans for this series?
Legend has it that Willem de Kooning remarked that the art dealer Leo Castelli was such a good salesman he could sell two beer cans. Johns took this literally, creating the iconic series to explore themes of irony, commercialism, and the nature of artistic value.
